INDIAN SPICED TEA (CHAI MASALA) RECIPE

You are probably familiar with the chai tea lattes served at the big coffee chains, but let me tell you, they are nothing like homemade chai masala.

This is a special blend of whole spices that I first dry roast to release the aroma, and then grind to a coarse powder in a spice grinder.
