Recipe for masala chai:

A popular beverage in India is masala tea. Tea is a popular beverage among Indians in the morning and evening. Here, "Masala" refers to spices, and "Chai" denotes tea in Hindi.

To make masala tea, steep tea in water together with the spices, sugar, and a tiny bit of milk later.

In India, it's normal practise to flavour our daily chai or tea with a variety of herbs and spices. Several herbs and spices are utilised, depending on the household.

In actuality, many households have their own special recipe for masala chai.

Break Up The Masala (Spices)

1. Place 2 to 3 green cardamoms, 2 cloves, 1 inch of peeled ginger, and 1 inch of cinnamon in a mortar and pestle. Instead of cassia cinnamon, use genuine cinnamon.

2. Using a pestle, finely crush; set aside. But, be sure the ginger is well flattened and crushed. Instead, grate the ginger and add the entire or crushed spices.

3. Heat 2 cups of water in a small skillet with a handle or a saucepan (500 ml).

4. After the water has started to boil, add the ground spices. If necessary, give the spices a big pinch of nutmeg powder. Lemongrass or mint leaves may also be included at this stage.

5. Boil for two to three minutes. As desired, add sugar. Four teaspoons of raw sugar are generally added by me. Some people favour tea that is overly sweet. You can therefore adjust the sugar content based on your personal preferences for sweetness as well as the type and quality of sugar you're using.

6. Next, stir in 2 tablespoons of Assam tea dust or powder. for one minute, boil. Depending on how strong you want your tea, this boiling time will vary. Simmer for a few more minutes if you prefer a richer, stronger drink. Nonetheless, this might give the tea some bitter undertones.

Keep in mind that if you use tea leaves, you must steep the tea rather than boil it. Boil the water and spices together for steeping. Turn the heat off. To the tea leaves, add. Mix thoroughly and cover with a lid.

Depending on the strength and concentration of the tea you choose, steep it for 2 to 4 minutes. the brewed tea with hot milk. Combine, then filter and plate.

7. Add 1/4 cup milk (at room temperature or cold). If necessary, you may add more milk.Soy, almond, or cashew milk can all be used to make chai that is vegan-friendly. Add soy milk, if using, to the tea mixture, and let it simmer for two to three minutes.

If you're using oat, almond, or cashew milk, heat it separately in a separate small saucepan. Turn off the heat after adding to the tea. Mix by stirring. The tea will have a gritty texture if the almond or cashew milk is allowed to boil.

8. Boil for two to three minutes after adding milk. Boil the milk for 2 to 3 minutes if it is chilled. If using hot milk, add it after turning off the heat.

9. Strain the masala tea into a cup using a tea strainer.

10. Pair your preferred Indian snacks, such as aloo pakora, veg cutlet, samosa, aloo tikki, onion pakoda, bread pakora, medu vada, biscuits, or cookies, with the boiling hot masala chai.
