    Indian chai / tea

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

     

     

    This Indian chai is fav among a ton of my American friends. Every time I make this for someone, they look at me like an Illy barista. I feigned authority over this for a long time, but time to reveal the secret.
    A lot of this has to do with tea the powder that is typically the same flavor as English breakfast. The Ceylon, Assamese and the Munnar versions are the best.
