Flavored Black Tea
Masala Chai
by TeaLula
"Masala" simply translates to "mixed spices", and we find this particular mix to be the most traditional of all our chais. It's cardamom forward with a large backbone of spicy ginger. The clove and cinnamon add a more subtle warmth but don't dominate the cup.
Ingredients
Black tea, cardamom, ginger root, cloves, natural cinnamon flavor, cinnamon bark
Brewing Instructions
Brew 1.5 teaspoons of chai tea per 8 oz water at 208o. Infuse 4-5 minutes. Adding milk will reduce the spicy sharpness and yields a very pleasant taste. Use 7/8 tea and 1/8 milk.
