chai masala powder recipe | masala tea powder | chai ka masala with step by step photo and video recipe. for almost every indian, the morning has to begin with a hot cup of coffee or an indian chai. particularly with indian flavoured masala chai, it is incomplete with a unique blend of spices. this recipe post is dedicated to chai masala mix and how to use it to make a refreshing beverage drink.
i have posted different types of chai and beverage drink using tea powder. but somehow, i missed posting the basic recipe of chai masala mix. the last time when i posted masala chai recipe, it was with fresh herbs like ginger and cardamom added directly to boiling water. the end result would be very similar, but the advantage of this masala mix is it can be stored and used whenever you want. in other words, the chai masala mix makes your life easy and use it to get the same flavour. i personally make it in large quantity as my husband is a big-time tea drinker. he likes to have a cup of masala chai in the morning with breakfast. so it makes it more sense to make it once and use it regularly as you need.
furthermore, before jumping into the recipe, some more tips, suggestions and variations to masala tea powder recipe. firstly, the texture of the masala powder is very critical for this recipe. i personally like it as coarse powder and hence i grounded the dry spices to a fine powder. however, some prefer it to be a fine powder. the issue with fine powder is that it may not get strained with the sieve. secondly, i prefer to add the masala mix with tea powder to boiling water. this helps to release all the flavour of the mix. however, some may prefer to have a mild taste and you can add after milk is added. lastly, if you feel to reduce the spice heat of the mix, you can reduce the quantity of pepper to ¾ or to ½.
finally, i request you to check my other beverage recipes collection with this post of chai masala powder recipe. it includes my other recipe variations like ginger tea, chai, cutting chai, turmeric milk, buttermilk, chaas, masala milk, masala soda, spicy buttermilk, dalgona coffee. further to these i would also like to mention my other recipe categories like,
