I just came back from delployment and had this tea with a lot of different village people. I've been desperately looking for a way to replicate this recipe at home to give me something to look back on. This was perfect and I deeply appreciate it.
Watched the video, and made the tea. The slow, aromatic process made me think of my mom (we're Burmese by descent, not Indian). I already know that I'll almost never rush the process. This recipe brought some nostalgia for how things 'should' be done and how they're done in the kitchens that I grew up in. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through such a special process.
This was very helpful! Not only did you go into what ingredients to use, you also went into what they do for the flavor! I really appreciate that, thank you!
You also just have a really pleasant voice and I can tell there's a genuine love for the process, this was just a very enjoyable and informative video so thank you again
Wonderful instructions and such a beautiful personality. I have been looking for the perfect chai recipe. I like mine to be strong and spicy with more pepper than most people use. Your recipe is exactly what I need.
This was great! The chef is a very good communicator - slightly mischievous, young, but sliding into Dad jokes already, and always smiling! He was not intimidating at all!
First video I've seen since I typed in how to make authentic Chai. I've seen it and it don't need to search any further. This looks fantastic, but your personality and delivery of the recipe is even better. I liked subscribed, commenting now, after this I'm going to share it. Thanks.
Thank you for such a detailed recipe- I have been searching for a real authentic recipe- I had a dear friend who would make chai for me and I’ve never been able to find a real recipe- thank you again!
Tried this following your procedure it's came with mind blowing taste. I just added cumin seeds also with it. Thank you. I have seen lot of videos on masala tea but this became a one stop solution 😊even when I use jaggery before this the milk was curdling but in your process it never happened
This is what I just told my friend: “I just made masala chai from the raw ingredients: the blackest of black teas, raw ginger, four cardemon seeds, a teaspoon of whole black peppercorn and a teaspoon of cloves, a cinnamon stick, a hacked off block of this brown sugar rock thing that I’ve never seen before - all of this coursely ground in a mortar and pestle and reduced for fifteen minutes in a boiling pot of water and milk. This might be the richest and most delicious drink that I have ever tasted. I can taste the distinct character of each ingredient!”
I love chai tea,and it's spiciness, and was introduced to jaggery as well so when it's not used in the tea I miss its flavor.I'm going to try my hand at making this, I will try my best to get it right. Thank you for this wonderful video.
How is that one of the funniest videos I watched lately? Thank you for all the tips, I bought a premade mix and I feel I can go deeper in flavors and you just made it less intimidating!
I really like this video and also this man has a very nice voice and attitude. THANK YOU. And I love chai tea too. My Indian cookbook didn't have a chai tea recipe and I was irritated about that but then I found this guy! So it was a good thing after all!
I bought the yogi classic tea , and some organic black tea, opened the bags directly in the pot, added fresh ginger 200ml water, 100ml milk,and honey. Came delicious
Made this chai tea today in Thailand... Delicious! I had to add more palm sugar... To taste... And I might reduce the amount of ginger because it's very strong here.
Excellent instructions and lovely presentation due to the person doing it. Loved this and will make some tea ASAP. Here in the North East of the USA we are blessed with a very large Indian population and Indian groceries are everywhere. Namaste
A very nice video! For my personal masala I just mix fennel seeds, cardamom, clove, star anise, pieces of cinnamon stick. Put it in a jar and shake it. Boil a spoon of this mix with black tea and use light milk lactose free. It tastes good! Every masala is diferent.
I completely agree with the need to stock the kitchen with versatile utensils that are not only good for food preparation, but can also aid in self defense should the need arise, which is why I own a large and rather menacing looking molcajete. I had all the ingredients necessary for this chai recipe except for jaggery, so I used Mexican piloncillo instead which is the next best thing considering there are no Indian supermarkets in my city. I am never going back to prepackaged chai teabags. This preparation has become my afternoon ritual once I'm done with work. Thank you for showing us what the good stuff should taste like.
One video and I am hooked. Just had my first home-made chai tea from a mixture I had gotten as a present. Then you look for how its made. And your are surprised how easy it is. As always, good things are made of only a few good ingredients. Thanks for the nice video.
Thank you, I hope, when I visit my Indian friends, they will offer me a masala chi. That was the best beverage I have ever tried, when my friends Shanta and Kishore made it for me in 2002. I can still remember the flavor after 21 years. Very much respect and appreciate people from India. You too look and sound like very nice young man. God bless you! ❤
Thank you so much , reading your comment made me very happy 🙂 . I am sure they will , even the hosts know that the guests are secretly hoping for a good cup of chai 😁
Just made my first ever masala chai following your recipe (as closely as possible). First thoughts was I didn't care for the smell. But the first sip has spices and pepper and that "British Tea" vibe that your nose misses. I knew there was black pepper, but for some reason I didn't expect the kick. I like it. And that's only my first ever chai. Upwards from here I hope with refinements and practice to taste! :)
I enjoyed a lot the presentation spiced with your humor. Somehow you managed to transmit your passion for Chai Masala. Can hardly wait to try it! Thank you sir!
I’m very excited to try this! There’s a few things here I haven’t seen in other recipes (using jaggery, whole cardamom, much more specific about type of tea, etc). So, I’m hoping this will be closer to the chai I’ve been trying to recreate ever since I moved away from my favorite Indian grocery and cafe 😩
Best video I’ve seen on masala chai! Thank you kindly! I love your relaxed demeanor and I too enjoy the whole process of grinding herbs each time I make tea! Looking forward to checking out your website!💝🙏
As you say granded spice freshly Mike a big difference, thanks for this recipe, and I can say that your presentation of subject is very good, I'm from Morocco and I'm very happy to know this traditional recipe, and I will try for my children and I will see your other recipe I thank that they will be nice as son as this thanks twice
you’re voice and accent are so soothing tbh (in a non-sexual way lol), made me really enjoy watching this tutorial, and love the camera work and editing put into this! you just got a new subscriber! :)
As i had to do some kind of process for my academic presentation I choosed this one..The way he is presenting it very cool....🤩SHABASH🤩 from Sri Lanka 😊
Always looking to perfect my chai recipe and I really loved this. Also really liked the presenter and the extra attention to ingredients! 🥰 oh and the teapots in the background!! 😍
i guess this is what my colleagues at work call chuka kapi. drink it when i don't feel well esp when i have cough or colds. thank you for your demo i wrote my comment before you even mentioned "colds" past 6minutes. i now understand the masala tea served in the cafeteria is very spicy when i can perhaps request less pepper and more jaggery.
Great video,I will try your version even though I am afraid of all the black pepper.And for all the vegans out there, Chai tastes just as wonderful with soy milk which has a very similar fat and protein content as whole milk.
I made this tonight and followed your directions to a T. OMG! 😂 The best and most authen-THICK masala chai I have ever tasted in my life! I told -errr I texted my friends about my life changing experience (😂) and shared your channel. I had most of the spices except the cardamon pods I had to purchase. I did not expect the smell of the cardamon are somewhat minty. I LOVE it! Thank you, thank you🥰
Love this video sooo much! What an honor to hear about real authentic chai ☕️ tea process. I have so much respect for this. Now I’m going to sip and make the sound to make everyone jealous 😆
It is so true making it yourself makes you smile and then that added love adds to the flavor. Reminds me of Baji chia that I'd drink sitting on the banks of Ganges River in Haridwar.
Watching from Hawaii!🌊🏄♀️ I love anything that's Indian cuisine 😋although I'm a Hawaiian. I've had chai tea many times when eating out. But...Watching you, I'm definitely going to make my own chai tea! Thank you Happybellyfish😊for Chai tea lesson 👍

I felt happy watching this. I smiled all the way. He's got very nice storytelling skills.
…and the ingredients? “Only the best.” 😌

I loved his sense of humour 😊

I've been craving good chai like I had in Iraq. Hopefully this will do!!
@@Keepthemguessing same here I loved the tea in Iraq! I've craved it since then.
@@Keepthemguessing I do like the Masada chai from coffee brand coffee. It's been my go to for a few months now.

I tried your recipe this morning for the first time, & if I could, I'd nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize :D. Super yummy!
I had this tea once in a restaurant. I liked it. But, when I tried this recipe, I just couldn't belief how good I am of making tea.
Wonderful instructions and such a beautiful personality. I have been looking for the perfect chai recipe. I like mine to be strong and spicy with more pepper than most people use. Your recipe is exactly what I need.
The mortar for self defense made me smile :)
This was great! The chef is a very good communicator - slightly mischievous, young, but sliding into Dad jokes already, and always smiling! He was not intimidating at all!
😁 Thank you and I am glad that this video continues to bring joy to people so many years later🙂
True , it's a pleasure to watch his videos.
Young? Looks 35.
“for self defense, and for the spices” 😂😂Dying
yes this was so funny
His voice is so calm and soothing, plus he's hilarious. I can't wait to try this
one of the best videos I've ever watched hands down. relaxing, informative. and the subtle humour is fantastic. much love :)

It’s been years that I have been coming back to this recipe every winter to make chai. I love it! Thank you very much!
I watched 7 chai recipe videos before finding yours. Yours is SO much better than the others. Thank you!!
It’s nice that you not only teach the recipe, but you also share your wisdom. Thank you.
Wisdom as in, always have a mortar and pestle- to be used as a weapon and to grind spices.
super enjoyable- thanks !

Looks good I make fresh Chai tea daily the ginger is the tricky part to get just the right amount I will try your grating idea . Thank you !
I just made this for me and my sister, and this is so amazingly good! I could drink it all day. God bless India!

Like ur presentation and voice. Felt happy when u said " ceylon tea".
You are such a seemingly lovely and gentle soul. Delightful video. You could teach meditation and prayer. Thank you.
I was always in search for a Guru, I have found myself finally : ). Jokes apart, thank you so much and I am glad you liked the video.
Thanks for sharing. It's delicious and now I can make it myself. He does have very nice storytelling skills.
Hi. Thanks. It's.a great recipe. Jaggery is known as panela in Colombia, is so popular in my country.
😮
Thank you,

Twinnings Earl Gray is my favorite .I've heard that heating the whole spices in a dry fry pan brings out the potency of the spices.
This is a great tea to healthy living
