Chai Tea, the Spiced Black Tea
December 18th, 2006Today there is no lack for quality tea in India or anywhere else, and chai is often made with some of the best black teas in the world. A strong tea is usually preferred, such as a Ceylon or Darjeeling, so that the flavor of the tea doesn’t get completely lost with the spices. Chai teas are usually served mixed with sugar and milk. A common method in making chai is to boil all the ingredients together, the milk, sugar, water, spices and tea, and then strain the liquid afterwards.
