Cardamom

Often called the “queen of spices,” cardamom adds a sweet, floral aroma and taste to masala chai. Beyond its flavor-enhancing properties, cardamom is also known to aid digestion.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon brings warmth and a touch of sweetness to balance the spicy elements in chai. Its fragrant and delicate sweetness adds depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile.

Ginger

With its fiery, peppery taste, ginger invigorates the senses. Fresh ginger slices provide a bright and slightly spicy kick that complements the other ingredients perfectly.

Cloves

Clove is a strong, aromatic spice that adds complexity to masala chai. Its warm and flavorful character balances the intensity of the spice blend.

Black Pepper

Black pepper contributes a subtle heat to the chai, creating a well-rounded flavor. Its gentle warmth enhances the other spices without overpowering them.

In a small saucepan, combine cardamom pods, cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, and grated ginger. Let them simmer in water for about 5-7 minutes to release their aromatic essence.

Tea Time
