- Milk Chai: Combine equal parts water and milk, bring to a simmer with tea blend. Steep 7-10 minutes, strain and sweeten to taste.
- Iced Variation: Prepare double-strength and pour over ice. For cold brew, steep overnight in cold water.
Tip: For extra richness, try with plant-based milk alternatives like almond or oat milk.

A Journey Through Chai's Cultural Heritage
Chai holds a revered place in Indian culture, where it's more than just a beverage - it's a daily ritual and social cornerstone. This blend honors the traditional masala chai preparations that have been passed down through generations in Indian households.
The specific combination of spices reflects ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, where each ingredient was chosen not only for its flavor but also for its warming and healing properties. During the British colonial period, the addition of black tea to these traditional spice blends created the chai we know today.
In Indian homes and street corners, chai wallahs (tea vendors) have perfected the art of brewing chai, creating a drink that brings people together and provides comfort throughout the day. This blend captures that authentic chai experience, allowing you to create this warming, spiced brew in your own home.
