masala chai tea

How to make authentic Masala Chai, like they do in India, using whole spices. Vegan and Sugar-Free adaptable.

Masala Chai Recipe 

green cardamom pods

cloves

1-2 star anise (optional)

peppercorns (optional)

water

ginger (or more! skins ok)

cinnamon

black tea

milk almond hemp milk

(or more

Lightly crush cardamom pods, whole cloves, star anise and peppercorns, and place in a small pot with 1 cup of water. Add ginger, cinnamon and black tea.  I like to muddle the ginger a bit right in the pot.

Bring to a boil. Turn off heat (don&#8217;t boil the tea, it will get bitter) and let it steep at least 10 minutes&#8230;. or for several hours. The longer, the more flavor!

Add your choice of milk. Bring to a simmer once more, turn off the heat.

Stir in your choice of sweetener, taste, adding more sweetener to taste. If it tastes bitter, you need more sweetener.  Strain into a chai glass or mug.

Hey is black cardamom allowed? I JUST went shopping for this recipe and noticed you wrote green cardomom 🙈

Authentic Masala Chai

An authentic recipe for Masala Chai (tea) or Indian Spiced Chai. This easy recipe uses black tea bags and whole spices and takes less than 20 minutes to make!

Easy Masala Chai (Tea) Recipe - Spiced Chai

3-4 inch cinnamon stick (ceylon

green cardamom pods (cracked

black peppercorns

fennel seeds (optional)

ginger

black tea bags

milk

sugar

Heat a small/medium (1-2 qt) saucepan over high heat. Add water, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, fennel seeds (if using), and ginger. (See Note 2) Bring to a boil and add the tea bags or leaves.

Reduce the heat to medium/medium-low and simmer gently for 7-10 minutes, depending on how strong you’d like the tea and spices. It will turn a deep burgundy color and reduce slightly.

Add milk and sugar and stir to mix. Raise the heat to high. Once the milk comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.

When ready to serve, raise the heat to high and allow it to come to a rolling boil for a minute or so, depending on how &#39;cooked&#39; you like the milk. (See Note 3) If you’d like, use a ladle to aerate the chai to deepen the flavor and make it creamier.

Pour into cups through a strainer and add more sweetener, if needed.
