This is how Indians make chai at home. Especially South Indian chai which doesn't use any added spices, just the pure flavor of tea and milk. It's a must try for the uninitiated. You'll become a convert for life
For the 4yr old comment and to help people who may be wondering, how to get stains off ya teapot/cups etc mix a paste of bicarbonate of soda aka bi carb aka baking soda into a paste with a little watet and rub it into the pot :) that is if you are using ceramic etc
I have been looking for proper instructions & this video answered all of my questions. Those of us who understand Japanese stand to get more from the chef's instructions though. Excellent video! Doumo arigatou gozaimashita!
What is a good low acidity tea mix? Most of my more expensive (Assam, Darjeeling) end up bitter whilst oolong is too weak for me. I’m experimenting with different teas, different spices added. I have my own Masala chai recipe; but after 20 years of experimenting with my kids & friends-have found different people prefer different spices accentuated. (I prefer more cardamon & ginger; my son just prefers ginger, elder daughter-cinnamon, younger daughter likes a more ginger/peppery/anise flavor. They also prefer different amounts of sugar, honey or stevia. But the tea base is something I continue to struggle with as far as bitterness. We don’t drink coffee, instead prefer stronger tea- but it’s difficult to balance. Which reminds me. I need to make up some “packets” for friends..both a more traditional masala mix..AND figure out what to put some dried “super-fruits” in for a relaxing, no-caffiene tea (Jujube, ginger, goji berries, Hawthorne berry) to give as a gift..
I learned a lot from this video, thank you so much~
I was looking at this comment thinking I bet that person came here because of Martina too! Then I realized 🤩

My Indian neighbors always used Lipton Yellow Label for their masala chai and that's what I learned to use to make it.

@upyoursassmonkey ditto on the staining. you'll notice that mugs stain to that colour after frequent use with tea. its normal.
He is Russian
What Japanese accent is that chef speaking? What area of japan has that accent? I like it.
Can anyone inform me if the gentleman who makes the tea in the video is speaking with the accent / voice tone from Osaka? Thanks.
The Indian Style ,
In India every one drinks like that It's Indian more like British
Tibetan style
it's just tea and milk? i always think there a hint of vanilla whenever i drink it.
Don't tell anyone but I like to put a little bit of vanilla extract in my tea (don't ask why)
Are you using Hokkaido milk-based products? Hokkaido milk-based products have a naturally vanilla taste to them by default.
6:00 after boiling of tea done
yes.
I prefer tea with more flavour and less the taste of milk. Coffee is better in a milky product as it holds up more flavor
@wewillsurviveit
are you kidding me? that looks like the most kick-ass job in the universe
too hot temperature will kill both tea and milk huh?
@FEETURS I think that in asia countries they teach British kind of English. That's wat i used to learn, so i think that's why!
@wewillsurviveit saddest job in the world is to work for wal-mart at age 70+ :( but still it's an honest way of living.... :/
all your base are belong to us
i only liked watching the flames filming part 2:40
anyone actually watched the whole 8 mins and 45 secs? lol
@upyoursassmonkey It's probably stained from all the tea he makes.
you can totally trim this video so it;s not 4+ minutes of watching a pot boil. just sayin'
I was relaxed by watching this video and also learned how to make it. :-)
Did they really just record the tea boiling for 4 minutes(uncut footage)?
Yes. And I can't believe I sat here and watched it. lol
