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.

Green tea is, without a doubt, one of the best hot drinks to have when the temperature drops and the days get colder. This antioxidant-rich beverage isn’t only tasty, it’s also super healthy and good for you.

Here are some additions that you can put in your green tea to make it a little more exciting.

Honey

One of the most classic combinations in the hot drink world is tea and honey. We especially like combining natural honey with green tea because the honey’s sweetness does a fantastic interplay with the light tannins of the green tea.

Pomegranate Juice

Green tea goes together fantastically with pomegranate, and I think the best way to incorporate the flavor is to add a splash of the fruit’s juice. This combination is equally delicious when cold or hot.

Mint

Put green together with green and add a little bit of mint to your green tea! Spearmint, whose light mint flavor and wonderful aroma do a good job of complementing the drink’s natural flavors, can be added into your mug in order to create an absolutely delicious creation.

Any traveler who has been to Morocco is probably familiar with the green tea that is served at all hours of the day in this North African country.

Served in beautiful and ornately-decorated metal or ceramic jars and poured steaming hot into cups, this tea is delightful and delicious. It’s the perfect way to start your morning or to settle down your tastebuds after a spicy meal.

Fortunately for us, even if you don’t live in Morocco, this tea is easy to prepare at home. Here’s how.

Ingredients

  • 1 liter of water
  • 3-4 bunches of fresh mint leaves
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of loose-leaf green tea

Instructions

Start off by pouring the liter of water into a tea pot and placing it on the stove to oil. Wait until the tea pot screeches and the water is boiling.

Once it’s done and has cooled off just a tad, add the mint leaves and the 4 tablespoons of sugar to the water and stir.

Next, you’ll want to place the loose leaf tea in an appropriate container and put it into the teapot. Let the tea brew for 3-4 minutes, approximately.

Take the tea leaves out, and you’re done! Pour from height into the tea cups in order to aerate the beverage.

Enjoy!
