CHAI TEA MASALA

This aromatic hot drink has a centuries-old history on the Indian subcontinent. Chai Tea Masala combines spices such as cinnamon, cloves, mace, pepper, cardamom and allspice – carefully balanced to create the typical warm aroma of Indian chai. Passed down from generation to generation, this blend is a symbol of a living tea culture and hospitality.

Warming, spicy, sweetish and harmonious. Cinnamon and cardamom add a delicate sweetness, while pepper and cloves provide depth and warmth. The flavor is round, full-bodied and inviting – a true treat with Indian character.

How to make your own authentic chai at home:

1. Carefully heat the blend in a pot until the aroma unfolds.

2. Add 500 ml each of water and milk and bring to a boil.

3. Add one heaping tablespoon of black tea.

4. Sweeten to taste – real Indian chai is always sweet.

5. After a few minutes, pour through a strainer and enjoy hot.

Ideal for relaxed afternoons or as an accompaniment to Indian desserts such as gulab jamun or jalebi.

In many languages, chai simply means “tea”. In India, masala chai is freshly brewed on every street corner – strong, with milk and almost always sweet. Tip: Briefly dry-roast the spices in the pot before adding the water and milk. This makes the aroma noticeably more intense.
