Chai Teas

Although the word “chai” merely means “tea” in India, the term has generally come to mean a black tea spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and / or black pepper and seasoned with milk (or milk substitute) and sugar (or equivalent). Some chais are made with a different tea base (such as Rooibos or Yerba Maté) and some chaos contain different spices (such as star anise or fennel seeds), but the basic idea remains the same—a spiced tea blend that’s great with milk and sugar.
