my friend gave me her recipe and it goes: measure the amount of water to use with your mug (you want it almost full), pour that in a pot and add in milk until it’s opaquely white. bring to a boil on high then turn down and add in 2 teaspoons of your masala chai (or 2 tea bags). turn it back up to med/high and let it boil again. if it’s bubbling too much turn it down or you might scald your milk. add a teaspoon of sugar and you’re done! one of my favourite homemade beverages.
This tea won me over and made me a fan of chai! It is especially good with milk and sugar.
One of my favourites. Heavy cloves, ginger, and spices. Paired great with a curry
One of my favorite chais - perfect with a little milk added in.
this sounds absolutely amazing! i love this tea so i am extremely excited to get it :)
Great if you like cloves in your chai! Which I do. But they are rather overpowering of the other flavors I enjoy in chai.
Deeply spiced. I enjoyed the sampler very much. Will order more.
By far, my favorite chai. I find I need to steep it for 15-20 minutes to get the full flavor.
Honestly one of the best chais I have ever tasted.
This is a great strong tasting chai. I prefer it with a bit of honey and half and half.
Best, for me & my daughter, with milk and sugar (she uses a lot, lol). Nice blend with a touch of cinnamon, recommend bein brewing it for the max amount of time.
This is a really nice Chai! I love it with a little sugarfree vanilla creamer - YUM
I used to love Tazo Chai from Starbucks but could never replicate the taste at home, no matter which chai blends I tried. Masala Chai hits every note perfectly: it's just the right combination of dark spices. You can easily drink it black. I like mine with a bit of honey. A note of caution - don't overstee or use more than the recommended amount of tea per cup. The taste will become very strong.
A nicely spiced chai. I do recommend steeping for at least 10 minutes since otherwise the tea is quite weak. But as long as you steep it sufficiently, it yields a satisfying cup of chai.
I had an Indian friend come in to brew it, and, according to him, that was not chai.
An excellent classic chai. All the spices you want and none you don't.
It's... Ok. I feel like it's missing something. Every time I've brewed it, it just tastes a bit weaker than I'd like. It's a little strong on the cloves.
Brewed and sipped without any add-ins, this chai has a wonderful, mild spice.
This is a nice regular masala chai. Best with lots of milk! I also sometimes like to add a little fresh ginger to make it a little spicier.
A strong tea richly flavored with a generous amount of spices, but not cloyingly fragrant. Works with milk. Even better with almond milk.
I love a good chai with milk and sugar, and perhaps this blend is better when prepared that way, but when I’m home I usually just have it black. I found the flavor of cloves to be overwhelming.
Very good, just the right amount of spice and is perfect with banana bread.
Quite good. I love chai, but I'm picky. This is a good one, second only to the blend Catcher in the Chai for me so far. Blends well with some steamed milk to bring out the flavors.
Absolutely addictive, especially with oatmilk. So good I had to try the rooibos version for nighttime sipping.
This is one of my favorite classic chai teas. I ordered more.
Spicy flavors that need just a touch of sugar to combat. Delicious with or without some milk added.
Kind of meh, it's all over the place and I've had better bagged chai.
Always been my favorite chai. Bold and warm and good to mix with others.
It's a okay. Too many flavors trying to work together. Not bitter, just ... a lot. This might be a good tea for those who drink their tea with cream. I tried adding a little sugar but if anything that just gave it more zing.
Wow. Perfect. The spice blend is ideal for chai. I wouldn't change a thing.
Overwhelming ginger presence. Very spicy. Ended up using it for chai syrup instead of for fresh cups.
I absolutely LOVE this chai. It is by far my favorite. Compex beautiful flavors, a bit of a kick with that warm spicy embrace of chai. Truly stunning.
I really enjoyed this chai. Perfect for a cold day. Had a really nice spicy flavor that was not overwhelmed when I added milk.
Perfect chai for me. A good balance of spices and black tea. I dont have a preference for spiced tea, but this one I intend to buy again. Best with a splash of cream!
It smells very nice, but is a little watery, even when following proper brewing instructions.
Cloves omg tons of cloves. This is definitely not a replacement for Oprah Chai. It’s a decent chai on its own, but I would prefer far less clove. I modified it by adding 6 oz of cinnamon inclusion, 6 oz of cocoa nibs inclusion, and 6 oz of rooibos vanilla, which gets it much closer to the original Oprah Chai, but it’s still not quite right.
A wonderfully balanced chai. I enjoyed with a little sweet cream.
Great blend of chai spices. Love the clove, ginger and cardamom. Really great black tea, gives a nice caffeine boost. Not too astringent.
It’s fine. I was hoping it would be a little more intense or flavorful.
It was delicious! Added two teaspoons per cup and it was just the right amount of strenght.
This is a nice smooth chai, great flavors, love this in the morning.
A very good traditional chai flavor. The black pepper is a bit stronger than I normally like but some sugar and cream balances it out nicely!
This is a pretty standard chai, and thus, you should definitely do yourself the favor of brewing this IN your milk of choice. Please. For your sake.
Excellent blend. Made the mistake of getting it in the bags instead of loose, so not as strong and spicy as I would normally brew. Lesson learned—getting the loose tea from now on.
By far my favorite chai I’ve had in years. I add a quarter tsp of stevia and a splash of heavy cream
Delicious chai! Excellent with honey and a bit of milk.
I mix this with white chai and it tastes great! I was looking for a replacement for teavana and I like this even better
Love to blend with Raja Oolong Chai for a comparable tea to the old favorite Teavana blend.
A solid chai. I think I wish it had pink peppercorns in it
LOVE the flavor of this Chai. Smooth and delicious.
