Preparation
- Add milk and water to a saucepot and bring up to a boil, then down, for approx. 7-8 mins, creating a milky foam.
- Add the tea, and continue bringing just up to a boil and then down, keeping that foam forming in the edges of your pot.
- Once the mixture gets to a dark brown (about 3-4more minutes, watch video below to discern the color you are looking for), add your Chai Masala blend.
- Add sugar, bring up to a boil then down, taste and adjust to your liking
- Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into your favorite mug. Enjoy!
*Cut, Tear, Curl refers to the way in which the tea is produced. CTC black tea is preferred for a Masala Chai Recipe because the flavor of the tea is so strong, its flavor is not lost in the world of milk, sugar and spice, aka Chai*

This makes the perfect chai! I’ve always made chai a different way but this will be my way from now on. I followed the recipe as written apart from adding fresh ginger towards the end, but I think some adjustments to the milk and water ratio would be fine if someone prefers less or more milky chai.
