Masala Chai is a flavoured tea that is made by brewing black tea with aromatic spices and herbs. This includes ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, bay leaves, and cardamom. The ingredients will vary from household to household or whichever region of the country you happen to be in. Served with milk, this golden wonder tea is consumed by millions each day and is adored especially in the south of India. This tea is HOT, as it is not only served steaming, but it also leaves a nice pungent sensation at the back of your throat.
