What is Chai?
Chai, originating from the Indian subcontinent, is a warm and aromatic beverage that has captured hearts worldwide.
At its core, chai is a blend of black tea and a fragrant mix of spices, often including cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper. Its history dates back over 5,000 years, with its roots in ancient Ayurvedic traditions. Chai's allure lies not only in its tantalizing flavours but also in its potential health benefits. The combination of spices in chai is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive properties. Ginger and cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar, while cardamom can aid in digestion.
Moreover, the caffeine content in black tea provides a gentle energy boost without the jittery effects of coffee. Whether sipped for its comforting taste or cherished for its potential wellness perks, chai remains a beloved beverage with a rich and flavorful heritage.
Tips for Success
Use a nice dark maple syrup to mask the herb taste.
Use a tall beverage glass for presentation.
