Nothing beats the comforting aroma and rich flavour of a perfectly brewed cup of masala chai. Elevate your chai game with these quick hacks
Grind cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon in small batches for the freshest flavour punch.
Opt for Assam or Darjeeling tea leaves for a robust base that can withstand the spices.
Allow the tea and spices to simmer gently on low heat to infuse the flavours without bitterness.
Use whole milk or a combination of milk and water for a creamy texture and luxurious mouthfeel.
Find your ideal sweetness by adding jaggery or honey, adjusting to taste.
Grate fresh ginger for a zingy kick or use ginger powder for convenience and consistent flavour.
Strain the chai through a fine mesh sieve or muslin cloth to achieve a smooth and refined texture.
