Share your Chai recipes/blends ????
 
Would anyone like to share their home blend recipe for Chai ????

Here in Australia it is not very common and can sometimes be difficult to come by. I am guessing that most countries have their own common blends and I am keen try mix ingredients and give them a go

Maasai Chai
 
In Kenya recently had Chai with some Maasai.

Apparently Chai is a Swahili word but in Kenya it doesn't normally contain any spices.

It was 2 parts water to 1 part whole milk brought to the boil then 1 teaspoon of loose Kenyan tea leaves and 2 teaspoons of sugar per cup were added and the whole lot simmered for 5 minutes before straining into mugs.

Thanks for the prompt reply

The commercial blend I have found here is funnily enough called "Mr Chai" traditional blend

It has Cinnamon, Black Tea, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cadamom, Star Anise, Cloves, Bay Leaf & Black Pepper
