Chai doesn't mean tea in general in English. Chai in English is a specific kind of tea. The same phenomenon happens with Queso Cheese, Sahara Desert, or Timor Leste.
I made this tea and it is SO good. Whole family loved it :) I only simmered the spices and water for around five or ten minutes and the flavour was still perfect. I added 2 star anises, which gave it a nice kick of flavour, too. Thank you!
did you add 2 WHOLE star anise? Or just 2 of the little pieces/blades off of a star anise? I like star anise in my tea also, but its either I use not enough or way too much! ;]
Ok so I don't even like tea, not even sweet tea and I live in Florida (my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy). I only enjoy chai tea, and even then I'm super picky. I've been searching for a good chai tea recipe, and holy cow this is the one. It's soooo good! I used whole milk instead of heavy cream, but I bet it's even better with heavy cream. Thank you!!
I happen to have a milk steamer, so I'll probably make this as a latte. I'm planning to pre proportion these in some small Tupperware, so I can just dump and boil. Thanks for the recipe
I've been wanting to try a true Chai (not just tea bags sold in store which are good, but was always curious on how it compairs). Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Love your videos.
i made, one cup pg tea, 1 cup tassimo gingerbread milk, then as above, tea was making in cup, while the other ingredients blended, the clove taste is awesome. then mixed all together in blender, while i am drinking the first cup, the tea bag is i the blender, in the boiling water, making the tea even stronger.
You didn't add ginger, in India we always add ginger either dried ginger powder or freshly crushed ginger along with the spices. We drink herbal tea also by adding Ashwagandha( Indian ginseng), Mulethi (licorice) Tulsi ( Holy Basil) along with the above mentioned spices, instead of sugar , in southern India Karupatti ( palm jaggery ) is added
Definitely should drink this tea..keeps u from covid 19... It keeps ur respiratory track clean n warmth....n easy on breath... N in morning we indians drink honey n lemon with warm water makes alkaline in body...acidic to alkaline...later i mean give a gap of 1 hr .n drink coffee or tea ..
I had an Indian grandfather who made this almsot the same way but added the tea to boiling milk and added fennel seeds for flavour....Its good either way !
I have been loving my chai for last bit and will definitely try your way as it is a bit different than the way I usually make it -can't wait! Yum! Thanks Hana:)
Miss you sister Hana , I hope everything is going well for you InshaAllah miss your old videos that got deleted ,the Ramadan vlog was my favorite and the homeschooling ones ❤️
How much more would you need to make half a gallon? This would be great for a coffee alternative,been trying to find something I could drink every day w a bit of flavor🙂
I make it very similar except I add the tea right away from the start process and boil on medium for 10 minutes. I will try this way no as I notice I lose half the water in the process. I also add jaggery instead of sugar it’s Devine
Awesome, it looks delicious. 😊 just for the sake of sharing information ; word " Chai" and " tea " are both originally chinese words for the green herb that we know and use . Chai word was used in south china and in that name then it became pupolar in Asia and in north China it was called a name close to tea and then it became papular as tea in Europe and west . So both tea and Chai is the name of same herb . 🌿 The tea drink is made differently in different places and Chai masala is a great warm drink. Thanks for the video ❤.
Crush or grind whole peppercorns instead of just throwing them in whole. Do the same with the other spices. Cooking the whole thing in just milk instead of water makes for a better flavour.
Pepper and Pine Thank you for your response. I bought this exact tea in the video of your recipe :) does it have a lot of caffeine? I’m a little scared & hesitant cause I don’t drink a lot of caffeine nor do I drink coffee.
Miles Morales: I love chai tea. Spider-Man India: What did you just say? Chai tea?!? Chai means "tea", bro! You are saying "tea tea"! Would I ask you for a "coffee coffee" with room for "cream cream"?
i am going to try making this in my blender, using t bag, good old English tea sorry, with spices, my blender makes hot soup too, without boiling, takes 3 minutes, with hot water, of course making the tea first, i will let you know, how it works.
The secret is with the essential oils coming out of the spices. once they are washed, you will not have the same flavor. make sure to cover it with lid to allow oils to seep back to the tea!
I'm highly allergic to peppercorns and black tea. What substitute can I use? I'm currently making it without these 2 ingredients. Let's see how it comes out.
Is star anise not included in chai? Or is that a different region that adds it? I’ve never had chai from India, only Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt. Well other than your obvious Starbucks or other coffee shops, and they all added star anise.
I made it. Insanely delicious! Thank you!! I used cinnamon powder and cardamom power because that’s what I had and it turned out great.
No ginger? And add lemon grass too in the future. Heaven!
Not sure if it gives the authentic tea taste

Powder cinnamon way too strong - always a stick!
Chai is tea!! So it's a "tea tea" 😁
PS. A true chai lover from India!! Once you start having chai, there is no turning back!
Tbh, I don't like chai tea, I Iike my regular British cuppa
Do you drink also just black tea without afding anything?

This is Amazing! Thank you pepper and pine for another amazing addition to our day. You truly are the best on RUclips !!
I remembered you put this out and came looking for it 🤗 I can’t believe it’s been 4 years! Your kids must be huge now! Thx again!
Amazing.. I tried this and also added ginger.. and now I am badly addicted to it..thanks for sharing
Thank you, a resturant a block from my home used to make this but it went out of business so I am especially glad to see this recipe.
oh wow , really ? ..i want to find a restaurant or cafe #aroundLA that makes chai tea lattes from scratch !
Thanks so much for such a great tutorial, a great recipe, and writing it down so clearly. I'll add ginger with the other spices though. ❤

We call it Masala Tea.
And we use Ginger or Dried gingerroot and Cinnamon to make the tea.
Even tea in india is like curry lol

Perfect time for tea ☕️...a bit of condensed milk tastes yummy also...thank you for sharing!

Agree. It can take a lot more spices and ginger is a must!
This sounds so yummy! I have never had it. I can’t wait to try this!!

Love from Bangladesh, JazakAllah.
It’s best if you dry heat the ingredients first to release more aroma and then add the water afterwards.
How to dry heath them?
This video is amazing, that tea looks soooo good.
I also use fennel and ajwain
This is my favorite. Here in Qatar we call it Karak.
Here in england we call you karak heads haha
Lol
Made this tea today, and added Jaggery to sweeten. Yummy!
Also added Star Anise

Nice recipe
I noticed you used Golden Leaf, Assam Golden Tip loose leaf tea. Do you still use that brand? Where do you get yours from?
This turned out so good!!! Now I have to figure out how to make it spicier😁
Crush or grind whole peppercorns instead of just throwing them in whole. Do the same with the other spices. Cooking the whole thing in just milk instead of water makes for a better flavour.
I add chilli to mine
Thank you for sharing! Where can I buy the black tea with cardamon organic preferably??
Where did you get your brown sugar spoon??? I love it!
Peet's coffee and Tea :)

Found the Pavitr comment
Best tea, Done with (munnar tea shop) tea powder Tasted so good.
helloo may i ask if its okay to mix the spices with milk instead of water in the first process? would it affect the taste?
Indians make it with sweetened condensed milk ( no need to add extra sugar or cream )
That was a great recipe!
that's so cool! very different from how we drink chai! thanks for sharing :)
Looks delicious! 😍

Absolutely awesome
Looks so nice
you should try it and you will be addicted to it
Making it now
Wonderful! A question, how long does it last in fridge?
I don't know, but I feel it's not as good if it's not fresh.
Do not store it..have to make fresh...then only spices work on body...
"Would I ask you for coffee coffee with room for cream cream?!"
Your famous delicious chai! Yum! 😋
Also try the trini-tea ginger-pepper-cardamom

Its so good I had to repeat the video
Do you ever re-use the spices to make another round of tea?
You can actually
The secret is with the essential oils coming out of the spices. once they are washed, you will not have the same flavor. make sure to cover it with lid to allow oils to seep back to the tea!
how do you stop the milk from forming a "skin" when you heat it? this looks so good :)
Low heat and constant stirring
It doesn't matter even if it is formed because at lastly it's gonna to be stained out in stainer and other option is stir it constantly 😉
on my 2nd cup , 2nd cup is with my home made carrot cake, real carrots.
I'm highly allergic to peppercorns and black tea. What substitute can I use? I'm currently making it without these 2 ingredients. Let's see how it comes out.
You can substitute black tea with Arjun Bark powder. Can find in Indian grocery stores or on Amazon.
yuo rock . i love chai tea
Hello. How much ginger powder should I add to 4-6 cups of water?
Where do you buy your tea?
i love it
Is star anise not included in chai? Or is that a different region that adds it? I’ve never had chai from India, only Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt. Well other than your obvious Starbucks or other coffee shops, and they all added star anise.
you can use a lot of spices. check out how i make it!
I will be trying this thank you
What if I only have ground cardamom
Love love love
Amazing 😉
Is it ok to use ground cardamom?
Yummy, where can I get the ingredients?
In the description
The video says 4-6 cups water, the description says 2-4....which is it?
I drank this 3 years ago and i have not slept since 👀
Can show me a website of the tea kind you got so I can buy the same?
Any black tea works. It secret is with the spices used
This is good for flue... Cinnamon and cloves
wow wow wow amazing
Sorry if this question has been asked, but can a milk alternative be used and still get the same flavour?
Milk powder 😊😊😊
I got my own version of chai Indian tea.
How many servings does this make?
I use tea bags which work just as well
My own secret ingredient.. put a pinch of rock salt ...its heaven😘
Great idea!!
can i use condensed milk to substitute heavy cream?
Yes, you can, but don't add sugar until you taste it as the condensed may be sweeter than milk.
Bueno❤❤
What does steep mean in that term?
Which is this tea powder
Do you have a link to the actual tea leaves that you are using? Thanks!
Can usually find Assam tea in Indian grocery stores. Also seen it at Nugget Market
I want some 😋
Could a milk alternative be used with the same result?
Yes! But it won't be as creamy so I'd suggest making less tea that's more concentrated so you can add more milk alternative.
I use use coconut creamer!
Yummy and healthier toi.
