    About this recipe

    What can be better than a Masala Chai to keep you warm in winters. Tea Masala is just blend of spices that can be used while making Tea. From North to South India each family has got their own recipe for tea masala .

    This is basic chai masala which I use ,one can vary the proportions to suit their needs. I prefer using this masala powder for making tea, which gives you a aromatic and mildly spiced tea that soothes throat and soul instantly. That's the love we Indian's possess for masala chai.

    This is a kind of home remedy we use at home to keep oneself warm in cold season. Keeping this Masala powder as a basic chai masala recipe , one can add extra cardamom ,extra cinnamon ,extra fresh ginger to get cardamom tea, cinnamon tea, ginger tea and lemon grass to get respective flavors.

    It's up to one's taste to use the spices as per their mood to get that extra flavorful punch in their tea.

    Than buying an Tea Masala Powder from stores, this is very easy to prepare at home with just few spices and it's pocket friendly too.
