Chai Masala-Indian Tea Masala Powder Recipe-Masala Tea Recipe

November 13, 2018 by PadhuSankar 1 Comment

Indian masala chai is a very popular beverage in India which can be enjoyed anytime. Tea is one of my favorite beverage and I always enjoy flavored tea. Apart from ginger cardamom tea, masala chai is one of my favorites. Chai masala is a blend of different spices and is used in the preparation of masala tea. Adding a dash of spice blend, no doubt takes the tea to the next level. This chai masala powder is from a Gujarati friend, who was kind enough to share his family recipe. It is very flavorful and aromatic and I loved it very much. Today we will learn how to make Chai/tea masala powder and also preparation of masala tea following this easy recipe.

    Hi Padhu, this is very good thanks for posting! I was wondering what if I don't have whole nutmeg? Can I put nutmeg powder or totally skip it?
