Chai Masala (Chai Spice Blend)

All Beverages Dessert Indian Flavors

THERE IS SOMETHING SO WARM AND COMFORTING ABOUT THE MIXTURE OF SPICES IN CHAI!

Here is my favorite blend but feel free to play with the flavors depending on how you like them.

Chai is a magical spice blend found in almost every Indian home.  No matter how you choose to use it, you will get something comforting and soothing.

The spices I use in my chai masala are ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, fennel, nutmeg, and black pepper.  All of these spices have medicinal benefits and are wonderful for your blood sugar, immune system, and digestion.

If you are feeling fancy, combine this with some dried rose or lavender.  Both combinations are devine.

How do I use my Chai Masala?

Feel free to play with the proportions to fit you best, this is the way I like it.
