I loved your blog, site and recipes. I am a avid fan of masala chai and wanted to add my 2 cents to it. Have you tried Masala chai with ginger? Try this and let me know. Heat water, while water is heating grate ginger(lots of it) into the pan. bring to a boil and then add tea leaves. And then milk. Last sugar. Also, I make water and 2% milk 1:1. Some people like it less milky. For me, I can't imagine masala chai without ginger. I could do away with all the rest of spices, but not ginger. But when I have company I do add cloves, cardomam and peppers (whole, but only couple or so) along with the super ingredient "ginger". This is my first post. I loved your blog, site and recipes.

This is the first, but not the last, time that I've had Indian chai. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I guess that for many people this is such a mundane, common thing, something that everyone knows how to make. However, I am not Indian, and I love learning about India and its food, so a post like this enables me to learn more. Hi Meena, I’ve just made chai like you suggest, and it’s absolutely lovely!

I'd suggest using plain tea, or at the least "English Breakfast", since other flavoured teas would not taste good with the spices. I do hope you like it. Let me know how it goes! Hi Paz!
