Chai Masala | Culinary Cool

I’ve loved Chai for a very long time.  I can remember my very first Chai Tea Latte quite vividly.  The spiciness and cinnamon reminded me of Christmas.  It’s the second most comforting tea I drink. The first is Red Rose because it’s what my mom and grandma always offer me

There’s nothing quite like Chai Tea made with homemade Chai Masala.  Store bought tea bags or loose tea don’t even come close to this recipe.  Fresh ground cinnamon, cloves and cardamom will leave you wanting a chai tea latte every day and you’ll never order another one from Starbucks.  It just takes a quick minute to grind your own spices and it will save you a ton of money in the long run

And a little spice truly goes a long way.  All you need is one little 1/2 tsp of chai masala to whip up enough tea to serve 3-4 people.  It will be love at first sip!
