Chai Guide
How to Brew the Perfect Masala Chai
Good masala chai comes down to a handful of things done well: strong black tea, the right milk-to-water balance, and gentle simmering rather than a hard boil.
- \u2022 Simmer gently \u2014 a rolling boil is the most common cause of bitter chai
- \u2022 Let the spices simmer in water first, before the milk goes in
- \u2022 Add sweetener at the end, to taste
