This drink is so many beautiful things at once. When brewed with both milk and water, the cardamom-rich spice blend spreads a soothing warmth through my entire soul. Ginger provides a bright but gentle spice on the finish. Sweetener is optional, but I’ve found the right amount of sugar can make a mug of this chai dangerously irresistible, while also providing an absolutely ideal afternoon caffeine boost.

I always recommend either finding a great garam masala that you love or making your own. Spicewalla has a fantastic one,” Siddiqi says. “It’s a staple in so many dishes and so many of the premade ones are trash.

Spicewalla has a team of four developers working on new blends that hit on four key attributes: visual interest when you open the tin, aroma, how the blend tastes straight up, and how that flavor transforms when cooked.
