Masala Chai: Masala Chai is an aromatic beverage originating from India. It is made with a combination of sweetened black tea and milk that is spiced with a masala mix—which typically includes cardamom, ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and black peppercorns.

TasteAtlas further mentions, “However, the choice and the exact proportion of spices often vary. Although several theories claim otherwise, the origin of chai masala is mostly associated with the British tea trade. In the 19th century, the Chinese had a monopoly on the tea trade, and the British looked for other markets that would fulfil the high demand for black tea—which was a firm European favourite.

Their quest brought them to India, where they started to set up tea plantations. It is believed that chai masala first appeared during that period, but it only became a popular option in the 20th century when the Indian Tea Association promoted tea breaks as a much-needed refreshment for workers and when tea became more affordable.

In India, the drink is mainly prepared and sold at challah stalls, but modern interpretations of chai masala are enjoyed around the world.”
