The Practice of Making Chai

- Join Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, founder and director of The Ayurvedic Institute, as he walks you through his personal masala chai recipe and daily meditation as you make a cup of chai together.
In this moment of making chai we get to spend a few moments in contemplation - working with each ingredient - to make a brew that is good for our systems, as well as a gift for others in our household and community. Sharing a cup of chai with our loved ones is a blessing we can both give and receive every day!
When asked to give the exact portions for this recipe, Vasant Lad made a joke that he doesn’t measure - and in a way this is what we each do with our personal chai recipe, learn what works for us.
Vasant Lad’s Chai Recipe
As a guide, you can begin with this recipe* for 4 people:
3 cups of filtered water
4 cloves

i am crying because this man reminds me of my grandfather for whom i made tea growing up, a very similar recipe. he wore a very similar ring, and a similar watch. he also looked similar to you. he is, however, no more and that's why im crying. thank you for reminding me about him.
❤
Aum shanti xx
It not tea he is making. It's more like a meditation in action... ❤
Sir I’m so glad I came across this channel thank you for sharing your wisdom with us 🙏
In ancient ayurveda perhaps there is no mention of tea. Tea is introduced mainly by British and other European.If there any ancient ayurvedic book mentioning uses of tea as a drink, please inform me about the book .
That is black tea from China British were just greedy the knowledge is from east
Lovely. Thank you Dr Lad for sharing this special ritual 🌷
The sadhana of chai by Dr. Lad - it does not get any better than this. Much gratitude for sharing 🙏🏻
Dr. Lad...my prostrations to u..U remind me of my Grandfather. I simply loved listening to u Sir. I am already doing the Soham meditation..but now after listening to u my faith in it has doubled. I am a Maharashtrian too n hence instantly got connected to u. Wud like to hear more n more from u on Spirituality.
आभारी आहे
खूपच छान
मी एक डॉक्टर आहे.
मी तुमच्या मुळे प्रभावित होवून नाडी परीक्षा समजण्याचा प्रयत्न करत आहे.
Thank you sir
if you apply nutmeg paste on your forehead your headache will be gone.
Thank you Dr Lad! I’m missing our courses in Watford. Hopefully you will come back again! Best wishes for your year ahead 🙏🏻
will you msg me if he comes back? x x x
He has indeed the gentleness, innocence, wisdom, dedication and kindness of a genuine Healer. Thank you! 🙏🏻
wonderful video and breakdown of each spice!
I now love Chai even more. I will add these spices from tomorrow. I only add Saunf, Sonth and Tulasi right now.
Beautiful “slow-tea” video, felt peaceful while watching it. My mother who is an Ayurvedic Doctor also makes this tea everyday. Feels so light and refreshing on the tummy.
Can this recipe aggravate pitta dosha cause reflux and acidity?
I would love to try this but suffer from GERD
Beautiful presentation... One suggestion which I normally do, before having the chai, I sprinkle the fine granular mixture on top, which gives extra aroma with taste...🙏
Dr. Lad, what is your recommendation for those who do not drink caffeinated tea, or even decaf black tea under personal Ayurvedic recommendations?
This recipe elevated my Chai experience. Thank you Dr Lad for all the ways you have healed the world. .
So is it good to have black Tea or milk tea , isn't harmful for body ,
Shud we drink tea
Just curious as a beginner... Cardamom is cooling. Cinnamon is warming. I.e they are opposites. So, can they be used together?
lovely recipe and video of GuruJi. Same as what we make at home, except without milk as adding milk to tea leaves removes all the benefits of them.
Sir, I have been watching your ayurvedic lectures, discussions; great you have posted this very useful Chai recipie; pranams, regards, Many thanks.
Such a beautiful way of explanation of making tea Dr Lad.proud of you sir 🙏🙏
Dear Dr. Lad thank you so much for showing us the original Chai recipe. Let's try to prepare it ourselves. Namaste.
Thank you. Much gratitude for sharing your routine and knowledge.
Namaskaram Guruji, what is the significance of adding milk to the chai. I feel like it is disturbing the whole essence of the decoction. May be, we are adding the milk as we get used to it out of ignorance and so we continue to have that kick. Please clarify the truth behind adding the milk to chai. Thank you.
Wondering, doesn't tea block iron absorption? What is the right way to consume tea, like not to eat anything with tea, like khakhara OR before/after consuming tea how long one should wait to eat meal, breakfast etc.
Appreciate your insights and inputs 🙏
Plants do not have spirits and are not deity. You really think a cinnamon stick is a god? Repent for this is idolatry and worship the true and living God who created these wonderful plants for our healing, sustenance and enjoyment.
Brilliant ❤❤❤ Dr Lad Sir……Respect
I give the one true God thanks for the beautiful plants he has created for our pleasure
Can you tell how to remove bitterness from tea when making . When ever I make tea there is bitterness ?
Thank you for gently showing how to make Chai. I love Chai it is so satisfying.
Such a joy! Looking forward to making chai with you. Namaste!
Jai Shri SatGuru Maharaj Ki Jai!!! Dr Vasant Lad is LEGEND ✨💖✨ thankyou
Plz tell is this tea good for all kind of body like cough pitt and vaat ?
Please mention the brand name of chai powder.
What a wonderful demonstration and reminder to bring our awareness with us in our daily lives. Thank you, Dr. Lad.
Also if you put a small piece of bread into your turbinado sugar canister it will keep the sugar from hardening. I use a small slice of sourdough and it does the trick. :)
Love your recipe, presentation and channel. Thank you 🙏
Too much milk 😮this is not 2. Tablespoon?
tea looks great but really strong. Not good for Vata Dosha.
I love your content Dr Lad. Namaste
I can really smell it....
Very inspiring tea recipe
Love it 👍
Sooo sweet he is...
7:45 taste better with honey
Thank you Dr Lad. My Chai recipe is same as yours. 🙏
i don't use tea leaves powder and animal milk in my chai ..
except that i really enjoyed the process of making chai ..
its like a rythmic story telling ..
gives meditative experience ..
Thank you Dr. Lad ..
Love with Gratitude ..
🙏🏻❤️☕
Namaskar Dr Lad, I had seen one of your videos few years ago describing Ida,Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. Request you to share the link of the Video as I am unable to find it now. Dhanyavad 🙏
Dr. Lad thank you for your wisdom in Ayurveda. You are very inspiring and now i know how to make Dr
Lad's Chai with awareness thus making it a meditative experience.
Beautifully narrated and lots of wisdom put in. Love ❤️ it 🙏💐
With due respect I am just sharing traditional Maharashtrian morning tea recipe . It says never boil black tea. Add tea powder after a rolling boil and turn off heat, put lid and wait 5 min, then add milk and sugar to taste. Boiling tea releases more tannins. Science supports this as well. Definitely prevents tanned guts! Search without prejudice.
what's bad about tannins?
@@claudiaconrad5754 Tannins are good, they do not pause any health issues, they are anti-oxidising in nature. Tannins also remove harmful microbes from the body, and fight against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi etc.. so its a bonus actually
Tannins are astringent so too much can lower absorption and affect gut flora health
Thank you, I will do this. 😊
After adding milk and sugar do i turn on the stove?
Such a lovely presentation in every way. The background, the elegance of each container, the music and of course the presence of Dr. Lad.
Much much much gratitude for sharing,😊this way i can do meditation doctor, stay blessed 🙌 always
ओम नमः शिवाय
Hi, would it be alright to add ashwagandha powder to these spices?
Yes and even shankhpushpi and tulsi
SWWAS AMBU CHAI OF PLANET AYURVEDA INCREASE VITAL CAPACITY OF LUNGS & MAINTAIN HEALTHY RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
🙏🙏🙏👏👌👍
Are tulsi leaves compatible with milk, can we add it to tea? Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
2 ss of milk🤔😊
Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom.🙏❤️
He is the chai in person! Kind, loving, compassive. ❤
But tea leaves have caffine in them though. Is there any decaf version?
Can this chai be had by person with dosha imbalance who is pitta dominant prakruti?
Which spices should be used in the hot season? Fennel with cardamon?
I absolutely love Sr. Grandfather
Thanks for sharing sir
Can we blend all these ingredients in a mixie and keep it ready.
Thankyou for your excellent tea preparation.
Doctor vasanth lad. Phone number pl
Bless you and your teachings.
By any chance will you ever upload to RUclips the videos on your website? I would love to binge watch those old lectures.
Amazing I will start on this combination lovang and cadamom
Blesings 🙏
Awesome.. But Doctor made only one cup :) I like the way he teach others. Thank you sir
Looks just as amazing as I'm sure the chai tastes! One question: would all the masalas be okay through summer also or would it be heat producing?
Yes, I too have this doubt..?
I am deeply grateful for your existence 🙏🏼
How to get a cup of tea 🍵 through the screen ? wonderful wonderful 🙏
Please make tea for different doshas
He is putting all the hot spices everyone cannot have it. People with the high blood pressure have to be careful before drinking it
We will die sooner or later. No worries enjoy your life

My heart smiles, how beautiful, deepest bows
