]]> Masala chai, drunk daily in India, is one of the best drinks to make on cold days. It uses a similar spice profile to such fall favorites as pumpkin pie spice and apple pie spice, with warm sweetness and even spicy if you’re feeling adventurous. Here’s how to make it easily at home, getting the most out of your spices.

Ingredients:

  • Black tea
  • Milk
  • Sweetener
  • Cinnamon
  • Cloves 
  • Ginger
  • Nutmeg
  • Allspice
  • Cardamom
  • Black pepper, coriander, and anise (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by putting your milk in a saucepan over low heat with all your spices. If you have whole spices, it’s better to you use them here so you won’t have any grittiness, but ground works just fine too. Let your milk heat up slowly, giving it lots of time to soak up flavor from the spices.
  2. Be sure not to let it boil, as it may burn. Once it’s beginning to simmer, add your tea and let it steep for around five minutes. If you prefer a thinner, less rich tea add boiling water along with the tea.
  3. Once it’s steeped for long enough, add your sweetener to taste, strain out the spices and tea, and serve.

  1. Start off by pouring two cups of water in a pot. Add to that 2 cloves, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and allspice each.
  2. Whisk the spices in the water and turn on the heat to medium. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Then, turn the heat back on and add in 2 bags of black tea along with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey.
  4. Bring it up to a boil and then turn it off and let everything steep for another 5 minutes.
  5. Strain the mixture and keep it in a jar to use for lattes!
  6. To make the latte, add in 1/2 cup of the chai to a cup, and heat up 3/4 cup of any type of milk on the stove or in the microwave. You can also add in another tablespoon of maple syrup if you like it sweet and cinnamon if you want it spicier.
  7. Use an immersion blender to froth the milk and pour it on top of the chai.
