Indian Tea Ritual (Masala Chai)

Masala chai is made by simmering black tea with a blend of spices, water and milk. The result is a full-bodied, spicy and creamy flavour that suits both a morning and an afternoon cup.

In India, chai is often served in small clay cups (kulhad) or as “cutting/kadak chai” — stronger and in a smaller serving. At home, all you need is a quality blend and a few simple steps.

Water-to-Milk Ratio & Chai Strength

  • Creamy standard: 1 : 1 (water : milk)
  • Lighter version: 2 : 1 (water : milk)
  • Extra creamy: 1 : 2 (water : milk)

Tip: Adjust strength by the length of simmering/steeping and the amount of blend.

 

Spices & Flavour Profiles

  • Cardamom: fresh, lightly citrusy note
  • Cinnamon: pleasant sweet warmth
  • Ginger: zesty heat and lift
  • Clove: warming, deep spiciness
  • Black pepper: dry, peppery finish
  • Optional: fennel, nutmeg, star anise, black cardamom

 

Traditional Preparation Step by Step

  1. Simmer 1–2 teaspoons of the blend in water (about 2–3 min).
  2. Add milk (according to the ratio above) and simmer briefly for 2–4 min.
  3. Strain and sweeten to taste (honey, cane sugar, date/coconut syrup).

Alternatively, steep for 3–5 min in water at 90–95 °C (no boil) and serve plain or with milk.

 

Serving & Ritual Touches

For extra intensity, serve chai in a smaller glass or a traditional kulhad. “Cutting/kadak chai” — a shorter, stronger serve — is popular for on-the-go.

 

Iced Chai (Summer & Concentrate)

Brew a concentrate (more blend, shorter time), chill and pour over ice.

  • With milk: creamy, dessert-like
  • Without milk: refreshing, spiced profile
  • Dirty chai: chai + espresso (for coffee lovers)

 

How We Select Products (Pravé Bio)

  • No-nonsense ingredients: short and clear lists (tea + spices), no artificial flavourings, colourings or fillers.
  • Tea & spice quality: we choose Assam with a full body and spices with a fresh aroma in a balanced proportion.
  • Transparent origin: we prefer brands that clearly state origin, processing and packaging.
  • Taste & usability: we test hot serving, with milk/plant-based milk and as iced chai.
  • Clear caffeine labelling: for black teas we state they contain caffeine; for evenings we offer rooibos/honeybush and herbal blends.
  • Allergens & tolerance: we prioritise blends free from milk and gluten (unless traces from production are declared); everything is listed in the description.
  • Packaging & freshness: we prefer opaque, well-resealable packaging that protects aroma and freshness.
  • Ethics & fairness: extra credit for brands with a fair approach to growers and responsible logistics.

We regularly review our selection based on batch availability and customer feedback.

 

FAQ

Does chai contain caffeine?
Yes, if the blend contains black tea. Herbal/rooibos versions are caffeine-free.
What’s a quick “at-home” method?
1–2 tsp of blend, 90–95 °C, 3–5 min steep. For masala chai, briefly simmer with water, add milk 1 : 1, simmer 2–4 min and strain.
Which milk works best?
Traditionally full-fat cow’s milk; barista-style plant milks (oat, almond, coconut, cashew) are great too — fat helps bind the spices.
How should I store chai blends?
Keep in a dry, dark place in a tightly closed container. Spices are aromatic and absorb odours; protect from moisture and light.
What’s the difference between “Chai” and “Golden Milk”?
Chai = spiced tea blend (often with caffeine). Golden Milk = turmeric latte blend, typically without black tea and caffeine-free.
How to sweeten so the spices shine?
Great options are coconut sugar, honey, or date/coconut syrup. Sweeten after brewing.

Note: Always check the ingredients, allergens and the manufacturer’s declarations (e.g., organic).
