Recipe for Masala Chai Powder
Masala chai gets its unique flavour from the special masala. The masala for chai ingredients are whole warm spices. The spices has its intense aroma which makes the tea delicious.
Masala Chai Spice Mix are cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, black pepper and dry ginger powder.
Cinnamon - adds a sweet note to the masala tea and goes well with the milk tea.
Cardamom - adds an another sweet note and aroma to the tea.
Cloves - adds a mild spice and fresh flavour.
Black Pepper - adds a spice note to the tea. the pepper gives a tingly taste at the end of your throat.
Dry ginger powder - you can use dried ginger powder if you have. Fresh ginger can be used in the masala tea as fresh ingredient when making tea.
You can make this powder in bulk and store them in air tight container for up to a month. I would suggest you not to make too much of this powder, because it tends to loose its fresh flavour when stored for a long time.
