Masala Chai

More than just a drink, masala chai is the lifeblood of India, a spiced milk tea that fuels the entire nation from dawn to dusk. Black tea is vigorously boiled with milk, sugar, and a blend of spices typically including cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper, creating a fragrant, warming brew. Served in tiny glasses at every street corner, railway station, and office across India, chai is a social ritual that brings people together.
