Fact: ‘Chai tea’ is masala chai (originating in India), which means spice blend. Chai is actually just a word for tea, though others may recognise its linguistic cousin, cha, which is a common word for tea throughout Asia. Masala chai blends vary throughout all parts of India. Some families may include cinnamon, fennel, and cumin in their masala, while others may prefer a sweeter version made with nutmeg, rose petals, and clove. Regardless, almost every family enjoys a masala blend that includes cardamom, ginger, sugar, and milk.
