What it is
If you think chai is just a tea bag from the coffee shop, prepare to be amazed. Chef Meherwan built this blend on memories of Indian street chai (bold, spicy, with ginger and cardamom taking center stage), not the cinnamon-heavy versions you might be used to.
Yes, it brews an incredible traditional cup when simmered with black tea, milk, and a little sweetness. But here's where it gets fun: this blend is a total kitchen MVP. Fold it into whipped cream for the best coffee topper you've ever had. Stir it into oatmeal or yogurt for instant morning magic. Bake it into cookies, cakes, or homemade ice cream. Shake it into cocktails that taste like cozy in a glass!
To brew for two: In a saucepot, combine 1 cup whole milk and 1 cup water. Bring to a low simmer. Add 1/2 tsp Chai Masala blend and 2 tsp black tea leaves (or 2 black tea bags). Simmer for 3 minutes, strain, and sweeten to taste. Enjoy!
