Indian Masala Chai

Audience : Indian chai lovers

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Cloves(Lavang)

1/2 cup Cardamom(Elaichi)

1/4 cup Black peppercorn(Kaal menasu)

1/4 cup Cinnamon(Chakke)

1/4 cup Dru Ginger(Ona Shunti)

Method: 

Dry roast Cinnamon,Black Pepper,Elaichi & Cloves for 2mins in high flame in non sticky pan. Allow it to cool completely. Blend the roasted spices with dry ginger in mixer to a smooth powder. Store it in air tight container.

Direction to use:

For 4cups of tea, add 1/4-1/2 tsp chai masala with tea powder. For stronger flavor, you may increase the quantity depending on your taste.

Tips:

1. Maintain the sequence as Cinnamon needs more time to roast and Cloves less

2. Powder ginger separately so that a part of ginger powder can be stored separately for ginger chai. That’s another flavor when you don’t want too many spices in your tea.
