Needless to say Tea is the most prominent drink of India, which is the world’s largest producer, exporter and consumer of tea. "Chai" generic word for Tea in India and in much of the world, but for many English speakers, "chai" is always construed as "Masala Chai" or "Spiced Tea". Characteristically Chai, is a full bodied tea boiled with water and milk together while the sugar can be added while boiling the tea or after. Masala Chai is brewed with different combinations of warm spices like peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger. There is no standard recipe for making Masala Chai and you can use different spices according to taste.In short Chai is to Indians what a cup of black coffee with cream and sugar is to the rest of the world!
