Notes
- For an added depth of flavor, consider toasting the whole spices in a dry pan before adding them to the chai. Toasting releases the essential oils in the spices and intensifies their aroma.
- Steep the tea leaves for the right amount of time. Over-steeping can result in a bitter taste, while under-steeping may make the tea weak. Follow the recommended steeping time mentioned on the tea packaging or adjust based on your preference.
- Experiment with different types of black teas like Assam, Darjeeling, or Ceylon to find the one that suits your taste.
