Homemade Masala Chai Concentrate (Spiced Milk Tea)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2019
- Making masala chai at home is extremely easy, yet so many people will go to their favorite coffee shop and get one there instead. Often times they're using a concentrate that could be made at home in a few minutes, and have the best one you've ever had. Plus that means masala chai, hot or iced, whenever you want it in seconds.

Everytime someone says 'chai tea' I chuckle a little
Suvajeet Datta chai tea naan bread
Chai chai
Chai means tea if you don't know
I CRINGE
We indians cringe every time someone says chai tea!!!
For those of you who are lactose intolerant, Masala Chai tastes amazing with coconut milk :)
and almond milk !
Soy milk as well. Although my friends have told me they don't like it so take my word with a grain of salt
I like mine with gf oat milk. :)
Laura Biscaro almond milk work great too
Or any other non-dairy milk! 😋
INGREDIENTS:
15 green cardamom pods or 6 black cardamom (I used a mix of these)
4 cinnamon sticks (16g)
1 Tbsp (10g) black peppercorns
12 cloves
1/4 tsp fresh grated or ground nutmeg
2 3-inch strips oranges zest *optional*
1/4 cup (55g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (45g) fresh ginger rough chopped
1/2 cup (23g) loose leaf black tea
Method:
Take your green/black cardamom, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns and cloves and place in a baking sheet; toasting them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes.
Once toasted, combine your spices with 1 quart of filtered water in a pot. Add in your ginger which has been rough chopped, your granulated sugar, orange peels and ground nutmeg.
Bring your mixture up to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce it down to a low simmer and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 30 seconds. Drop in ½ cup of loose leaf black tea. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes.
Strain your mixture and reserve your liquid.

This aged beautifully 😍
This is dream content for me...other than the fact you keep saying 'masala chai tea' lol. You're effectively saying 'masala tea tea'
that's hot

@@Syndromethic link?
Was about to comment this
@@SoumilSahu He points this out via his instagram. Hes aware.
You can also pan-toast to bloom the spices if you're paying very close attention to it. That's what my grandmother used to do ^_^
I like doing each different spice individually. I know by smell when they're perfect. Then I give them a little crack with a stone khal batta before tossing them in the pot
@@timothygreer188 -- Both good recommendations for an elevated chai experience. Be blessed.
Yup, much easier to toast it just right on top of the stove
I bet that smells amazing.
what do the glyphs mean?
Bro I work nights *00:00** till **08:00* and while on my break, i just kick back and watch your vids and my god is it relaxing
Gotta love third shift.

Why do I always end up in this guy’s drawer?
You're the elf on the kitchen shelf
Us South Asians will never get tired of saying "IT'S NOT CHAI TEA"
Im south asian and i dont know what it should be called. Educate me pls.
@@piratehalfdroid7370 I can't tell if you are being sarcastic but it's just "chai". The words chai and tea have the exact same meaning.😂
@@chitrachayanika8420 no, im not sarcastic xD. I legit dont know-
Ah i see thank you lmao, so what is the proper term?
@@piratehalfdroid7370 It's just called Masala Chai 😂
@@chitrachayanika8420 oh okay thank you xD
i love that he actually adds ginger and nutmeg. other recipes i’ve seen don’t include it and imo that’s what gives masala chai a good kick! love it with oat milk or evaporated milk!
I’ve always made a masala chai concentrate and I let the spices hang out until the liquid is room temperature, so much flavour! I add fennel seeds to mine, helps improve digestion. I use almond milk (I don’t do dairy) and sometimes I use a vanilla almond milk (so good) and it’s like a dessert in a cup.
YES! This is what I do, as well. Fennel is wonderful. Great comment.
Mmmm, Fennel sounds like a great addition.
Thanks for the tip. I like my Masala as flavorful as possible. I like it hot and cold. It might be the one drink that can rival coffee in my heart.
I try to hide from this guy in his house but he keeps finding me. Maybe I shouldn't keep hiding the cupboard.
Lol
I've been hanging onto this for a while and finally tried it out today. All I can say is WOW! Where has this been all my life??!! I added a star anise since I have them. And I even used tea bags since that's what I have. Still the best masala chai I've ever had. The best way I can describe it is "smooth". It's like the flavors are just melded together better than you get with store bought chai teabags or concentrates. I'll be upgrading to a good loose leaf when I run out of bags, but even as is it's fantastic!
Yes I was reading the comments to see if some one mention star anise. I’m trying this tonight!
I can’t get over how much I love this channel. I’ve been missing cooking channels. There’s a bunch of good ones but nobody makes easy, quick, recipes everyone can do anymore. Then you came along with all that charisma and the obvious passion for your craft. Thanks for making your vids dude :))
Zach hey I seriously appreciate this. Thank you man 🙏
Wholeheartedly agree with you Zach. I feel like JW is a friend who lives far away from me but keeps in touch by sending me videos of what he's up to in the kitchen. Nothing too long or elaborate but always entertaining and informative. -- I happen to really like chai but never thought about making my own concentrate. This video makes me think I could do it without too much time or effort. Just got to get my hands on the spices. I may give it a try for Xmas to share with family and friends as an alternative to coffee with dessert. Hope your safe wherever you are. Be blessed.
Tried this today Josh and it went quite well! Thanks for the tutorial! :)
Nice recipe to start with and nice to educate more westerners. You are right there are countless recipes and even family members might make their daily chai slightly differently, as some like it more spicy and add more pepper and crushed ginger, where others highlight different flavours. The best thing is to experiment and see what tickles your own fancy. It is a healthy start to a day, especially the colder mornings. Most families I stayed with in rural India and in the towns would make it fresh every morning for the morning brew and during the day and not keep it overnight. Don’t think of the more time it takes to make as a chore, but more of a nice healthy, tasty start and time to chat to family members in a relaxed way, or catch up on your plans for the day. Chill with a hot drink.
Man you got me back into loving cooking and making everything from scratch. Keep up the amazing content and film quality
I have to say, I watch a decent amount of cooking channels and you are the best at making classy food look easy. I'm trying my first recipe of yours next week. Hopefully it's not just you being awesome and it turns out edible!
Omg I’m Indian dude and this is Indian approved, masala chai is what you want it to be. Keep being awesome!
Rey Mishra as an Indian I second your opinion
As an Indian that was a weas ass pale chai man! Will make you disown a family member wala pale!
joshua hit us with that cold brew vid, now he’s taking it up a whole other notch !!!
Honestly I was dreading having to read a boujie recipe, but you really did justice man, my grandma will be proud
Muito obrigada! Há muito não assistia um vídeo tão bom. Parabéns!
I love all your recipes! My boyfriend and I love to cook and bake together and we really enjoy watching your channel. Just made this chai tea yesterday and it was one of the best I've tried, and by far the best I've ever made. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Joshua's videos have a way of making me want to try this recipe even though I have never had masala tea and have no idea if I'll even like it.
Yum! I make chai with a lil bergamot instead of orange peel and it’s so good 👏
@JoshuaWiseman You can roast the spices on a pan instead of baking them, that blooms and enhances their flavour..
Pro Tip: Once the roasted spices cool down a bit, pound them roughly in a mortar and pestle, or grind roughly in a spice grinder, you are going to filter the concentrate thru a sieve anyways..
I got so excited when I saw that you were doing this video, I love chai and I’m definitely going to try this out!
Wow! Way to go with this amazing tutorial. Looks delicious! 👏😊
As a south asian, i do not think this was bad. Good job. I might even actually give this a try.
I work at Peet's coffee, and people will even say spiced Masala Chai Tea- spiced spiced tea tea. XD
I'll do you one better -
dirty spiced masala chai tea with espresso
@@juiceboxbento Lol even better! We better report these to the Department of Redundancies Department
I come back to watch this video every other week because I make ur chai concentrate recipe every other week! It’s so delicious! I’m trying it with the orange peel today :) thank you for this recipe!
I tried this recipe and it came out sooo good, I’m obsessed
Making this as a surprise for my wife now. Shes a huge chai lover. Hope she likes it!
Awesome! Many thanks for recipe. Outstanding video quality, as usual.
What kinda grinder are you using?
Love this! So easy to make and tastes great!
I’m 100% making this. I know I’m gonna be obsessed with this.
Omg
This is the first time i watch your vid
I love how you cut the video, the mood , song , the color
whatever
I love it !
I love masala Chai.
I went on a study abroad to India maybe a year and a half ago, and we were served some of the best masala chai I've ever had.
My teacher also saw some mix in a shop and sort of scoffed at it, saying that regular people just make it themselves. I got the feeling that her family would just use the spices that were around the house.
Since then I've made some myself, mostly basing my recipie off of the bon appetite one.
Now the starbucks chai latte tastes artificial to me. Can't beat the stuff from scratch!
Great videos! Love your work. Inspiring!
Ok I’m so late but this is THE BEST CHAI TEA RECIPE I’ve ever tried. Thank you for changing my life💞
I shared this with my family in like 5 seconds! (btw i hope you get told enough you have quality editing)
I made this today and
IT. WAS. AMAZING. Liquid gold 🥇
BTW I love the way you say "The story is yours to write" in this vid. Solid line 👍 Love it so much I'm making a second batch already
I am making this ASAP! Thank you for sharing!
Totally making this! Thanks for inspring me to try all these diff things..still LOVING and consistently making your kimchi recipe! Have you played around with making shrubs? For drinks/cocktails, they sound amazing and wanna play more with fermentation. Love to see a video of this😉👌
Huh. I could make this for my guests!
Please do a bubble/boba tea next!!!!!!! I've tried making passionfruit black boba tea with tapioca pearls so many times but I just can't find a recipe that makes it sweet enough. I do love the ones from ChaTime (dunno if it's just in Australia) so maybe something along those lines?!?
As an Indian loved the way you did it. Easy to understand and make it who are not south Asian. Oh BTW love your caesar salad recipe. Will try that tomorrow.
I’m so happy you posted this recipe❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for fueling my Chai addiction
Substitute the fresh ginger with dry ginger powder (called as Sonth in India). It has a better flavor and the natural starches present in ginger powder gives a nice consistency to the tea.
What would be the fresh ginger to ginger powder substitute ratio?
So this is the first video I actually followed along with of yours and omfg it tastes so good I’m so happy with it
Love this video! Great job on the tutorial 👏
Your channel is so underrated
If you don't want the caffeine, this tastes amazing with just milk. Also, you can get pre-ground mixed masala for milk/chai at pretty much any Indian market, but it won't be as good, obviously, as using fresh spices
Oh YES 😍 I’m also going to try this for flavouring kombucha!
Life changing! Love it!
How long do you think this would last in the fridge? Sounds yummmy!
kingmejam I figure a week or two. Or you probably can freeze it up to 6 months. Pour it in ice cube tray. And freeze it. Then put it in a freezer bag. Don’t forget to date it. Then when you want some put some cubes in your cup pour some milk. If you want it warmed up. Put the cubes in the microwave or in a pot on the stove and melt them.

You don't.... Coming from an indian.... It's a 5 min prep recipe and tastes best when fresh
Hi Joshua, I was wondering how long concentrates like these could be stored and whether you could keep them unrefrigerated as well?
Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes!! Really enjoy trying them out :)
The base freezes very well! 😊
I keep it for 2 weeks, refirgerated.
Oh wow! Thanks 💪 most kind!
Yay! Been waiting for this one!
Just made a version of this. thank you so much. I love your videos.
I generally like your recipes, but this was hilarious! Could help laughing thru the whole video. I am from India and have had a lot of chais all my life. No chai is ever so complicated. I’ll give you a simpler recipe to make a delicious chai.
Bring 1 1/4 cup of water to a rolling boil. While your water is boiling, take a mortar and pestle and pulverize 2 green cardamoms, 1 clove, 1-2 pepper corns, 1/4” piece of cinnamon. If you have ginger power, add a 1/4 tsp to the spice mix or else use a 1/4” piece of ginger root and add to the water. All all spices to the water and let it come to a boil. Once boiling, add 2 tsp of sugar (more if u like sweeter teas) and 1 tsp of black tea leaves (CTC preferred). Let the whole thing steep for a couple of mins. Then introduce 1/4 to 1/2 cup of warm milk (microwave it for 30 secs) depending on how milky you like your tea. Let it boil and boil and boil for a very long time. Boiling it for a long time is the key here. Remember you have 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup of water + milk to begin with. You want to reduce it down to 1 cup. Keep stirring while it boils and reduces down. Thats you classic Indian chai - one that you will find at millions of small tea stalls all over India.
thanks bro
No
Yep. The tea works only if the milk is added early and brews along with the spices and tea leaves. Any other method yields weak ass tea and nobody wants that
Lol, says he has much simpler recipe. Proceeds to give almost exact same recipe with different amounts.
congrats - you made a different recipe which is NOT a concentrate and seemed to miss the point.
The notifications actually worked this time
Omg this was what I was looking for the past month
OMG you have such a passion for food it's inspiring
You got to steam or boil your milk. Thats what gives it that silky or creamy (respectively) texture.
I personally think its equal effort to just make it from scratch and skip the concentrate.
1- Add fresh lightly crushed spices to a 1/2 - 3/4 part water
2- Bring to a boil on medium heat
3- Add tea and drop or cut the heat to steep.
4- Add 1/4 to 1/2 part milk
5- Bring to a boil (For milk texture and natural sweetness. Personal preference as to how much to boil and reduce. I only keep it on the boil it for like 10 seconds.)
Tips for a quicker chai:
1- It is faster to start with boiling water from an electric kettle, but make sure to crush spices so it infuses.
2- You can add milk and water together. If using tea powder or dust, just bring to a boil on medium heat. If using tea leaves, drop the heat so it can steep for around 5-10 mins before reaching a boil.
3- Hold off on adding sugar until the end. Adding sugar makes it harder for the tea and spices to infuse and also makes it take longer to boil. This can be a good thing if you want a lighter chai.
my spice recommendation (per person/cup):
1-2 green cardamoms (sweet spice)
1 clove (fresh and cooling)
1 (leaf/shard) of a star anise (bright and complex, can be overpowering, so stick to just a shard even for 2-3 cups)
1-1/2 stick of cinnamon (sweet and warm)
if you need warming:
1/2 tsp ginger powder (very different from fresh ginger)
3-4 peppercorns
a hint of turmeric (1/8 tsp)
1-1/2 stick cinnamon
a hint of nutmeg
Others:
anise (not star anise) or fennel seeds - helps with digestion
turmeric + ginger - Power healing for your throat
Suleimani tea - Spiced black tea:
half the amount of tea + sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, fresh ginger, and a squeeze of lemon juice. (its just magical. Great way to end a heavy meal)
a proper Masala Chai tea can only be properly prepared in the Assam Region with water from the Barak River, first gargled by a tribe elder then by a shaman. nice try
Haha
Lol
😂😂😂😂
That’s really racist !
@@PriyankitaPant how?
Very grateful for this recipe, Joshua. Thank you, dear.
what a wonderfully, adaptable recipe!
I trust you Josh. I will make this. I’ve been buying coffee from Starbucks for 9 years now.. and I love the Chai Latte, but it’s $7.99 per day 😂… so yeah.. I’ll be making this at home.
did it work?
@@lilygarcia24 YES! It sure did girl!! 💕
Whats the background music @0:13
Just made this and it’s awesome! Cheers.
Love your videos dude. Good stuff!
Chai means Tea in Hindi. So saying ‘masala chai tea’ is like saying ‘masala tea tea’.
Edit - forgot to mention - masala chai concentrate - what a GENIUS idea!
It means the same in Swahili, its always weird hearing "chai tea"
But most of the people watching this video don't speak Hindi or Swahili so knowing it's a Tea recipe is kind of important
Neil Richey yea. That’s actually a good point. 👍🏼
In Romanian too
Same in russian
CHAI TEA?! YOU'RE SAYING TEA TEA, WOULD I ASK YOU FOR SOME COFFEE COFFEE WITH A SIDE OF CREAM CREAM
It's just how it is said in English.
Made this today. Turned out great!
Thanks 🙏🏼 Josh I absolutely love 💕 Chai Tea and Indian food I think I might have been from the Middle Eastern in my past life
Hey Joshua! Love your content, super educational and well-done. Just a few friendly critiques: the audio quality for the opening segments from the cupboard (which admittedly must be pretty hard to get right, given the acoustics of kitchens) is always a lil echoey, and the B-roll always seems to come in about a second too soon - I'd give it a bit of breathing room after you introduce it, just to space things a bit more naturally. A second or so of blank screen while the music gets louder would really go a long way, imo. Keep up the great work :)
Oh and if i may add the volume difference is huge between the cupboard scene and the recipe.
Makes it authentic tbh feels better
when you've just finished your student film and have to rush to youtube to leave useless critique comments about cinnamon topgraphy
@@AlexaSmith I didn't seem that useless. And the comment is written in a very polite way. Unlike yours.
Was about to comment around similar stuff. I always have to prep and turn the volume right down for the video intros and then turn it back up, and hope there isn't another cut to the loud cupboard scene :) Would greatly appreciate some volume normalization in the videos, cheers dude!
Can you make some ramen noodle video ? 😊
Greetings from Germany
Y'all I love the B roll, it's so satisfying.
You're killing it JOSH! LOOK AT YOUR SUBS! So happy for you bro!
Hey man, I really really appreciate it. Thank you for your constant support.
Mostly they didn`t add white sugar. They add honey or brown sugar or melasa, because this things add more great flavour
KilerCrepper you can add that instead of sugar
That’s not true. Most of us use white sugar for chai.
ThePinkChilli it is true. I have made Chi Tea with Honey and brown sugar before. Not together. But I have made it before with those ingredients. Don’t knock it, until you try it. I don’t buy Chi. Because most of the time they make it with cinnamon. And I’m allergic. So I always looking for new recipe without it.
@@karenshort3776 I'm not knocking it - I'm merely saying that we Indians mostly use white sugar, and not honey, brown sugar, or molasses to masala chai.
ThePinkChilli I didn’t know you’re an Indian. I understand what you’re saying
The glass filled with ice got me to raise an eyebrow but the orange peel in a masala chai prep is where I lost it
Thankyou for sharing.better than the instant powder tea I get at the Indian store plus your home smells like fall. 😊
typically, in India, the leaves don't just stew, they are boiled. and boiled hard, with milk. the idea with even water is to get the liquid slightly thickened by boiling, maybe the tea leaves have that quality, maybe it's the just the milk reducing. that being said, this looks quite nice
This is a fantastic idea and I'd been considering doing the same.
Shame about the naming! I feel like we need an American RUclipsr drinking game where you take a shot for every time y'all say "chai tea" (tea tea) or "bao buns" (bun buns).
me an Indian sees the Masala Tea .. with milk and Ice
Me inside : REPORT THE GODDAMN BLASPHEMY
jk but for like any India Masala chai should be hot like English breakfast tea
I make traditional chai every morning. I make it with crushed green cardamom steeped in only milk then add in the loose leaf black tea with sugar. So good. A friend of mine from India taught me.
Why am I so angry
I being an American English white man drink English breakfast tea on a regular basis in ice and milk. LOL
I recognize the blasphemy but love the taste of a good cold milk tea.
Indonesian here looking for a good spicy chai. Ive gone through a dozen of recipes through both youtube and the internet, and im surprised that this is the one for me! I decided to just make it straight away by dividing the recipe into 5, adding 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk. Simmered for maybe 5 minutes. Perfect.
Great with honey, will be trying with dates tomorrow morning. Will admit that I didnt have peppercorn on me nor cloves, so i used blackpepper instead 😂 might cut back on the next try but both this with nutmeg gives it a lovely kick.
Loved this video! Love your channel!!!
"Chai Tea? Chai MEANS tea! You're saying 'tea tea'! Would I ask you for a coffee-coffee with some cream-cream?"
جايه من سناب جمانه😂❤️
Hi, thanks for this a lot! Just quick question - how long can you store it in the fridge? Couple of days or longer?
Hey dude, you’ve uploading a lot. Nice. My gingerbug’s doing great btw thanks!
Masala chai tea? Chai tea? you're worried about the spice mix complaint?
What language is he speaking.
Chai doesn't mean tea in English. Tea means tea in English, and Chai is the kind of tea being made. You aren't part of some secret, or cultured, for knowing that chai means tea across the various languages of India.
@@mrlahey2530 🤝
No one minds the ingredients, only you constantly saying "tea tea" when saying "chai tea" 😂
I’ve just made this. Tastes sooo good
This chanel is so underrated!!!!! Your recipes are all I need in my kitchen! Just finally also made this one, can’t wait to let it cool down :)
Just one little slap:
Chai means tea in Hindi.
So when you say "masala chai tea," the translation to anyone living in India would be "masala tea tea."
A bit odd sounding, but apart from that, great video, as always! ♥️
it happens with many languages though.. like what is with people calling it green tea, but suddenly when its the green tea powder they call it matcha? matcha it literally the word for green tea haha. Just the quirks of translation etc.
Chai means tea your basicslly saying tea tea.
Oh that beat on the b-roll, slapping!
I love that the music sounds like ice cubes clinking together.
