I love Chai! Well, actually Masala Chai. The word "Chai" itself means tea. I'm talking about that delicious Indian spiced tea-based beverage that is popular. And since a cup of Chai in a coffeehouse can be upwards of $5, this frugal gal likes to make her own Chai Spice Mix (Masala). It's very easy! Here is how I make it:
Ingredients
4 tsp ground cardamom
4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cloves
1tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground all spice
2 tsp ground ginger
After mixing all this in a bowl, I like to pour it all into an empty spice shaker, like this one.
To make a cup of Masala Chai, simply add an 1/8 to a 1/4 tsp of this spice mix to a cup of hot tea, along wih a little honey and a slash of milk.
