Every now and then, I keep seeing people posting gorgeous monsoon pictures. It is my most favourite season, and in spite of being in a place where the temperatures are 47 deg and soaring by the day, looking at all the stunning cloudy pictures, I definitely get transported back home! Even though I am not going to touch the chai masala for another 4 – 5 months, till winter starts here, I couldn’t help but post the chai masala recipe because the facebook pictures called for it!
Nothing and absolutely nothing can beat a nice big mug of masala chai on a rainy day!
I have always been an avid coffee enthusiast, and hardly had any tea at all. But all that changed after getting married.
My mum-in-law, makes the BEST ever tea, this is her chai masala recipe. Every time, it's the same authentic taste of a delicious masala chai. I had never had tea before with mint or even lemon grass. But she brews such a perfect combination of tea, milk, sugar, this masala, mint leaves and also lemon grass, that even if I am getting sick with acidity, I will have at least 3 - 4 big mugs of tea a day!
Gorgeous masala, and makes an absolutely delicious tea!
