My mom continues to drink her two cups of chai every day. So twice a day, she washes her teapot and goes through the tedious process of crushing spices and boiling tea. For her it’s nothing, but personally, I don’t know how she does it (patience? what’s patience?). I love freshly made chai, but I just don’t have the time to make it every day, let alone twice a day.
That’s Why I Started Making Homemade Chai Concentrate
It’s infused with all the masala flavors that I love: fresh ginger, cardamom, cloves, and fennel seed. The best part is, that I only have to make it once a week. There’s nothing like drinking a fragrant cup of spiced masala chai in the mornings. The smell of sweet cardamom and spicy ginger is enough to wake you up. With this homemade chai concentrate, I can have my daily cup of chai without all the work that goes into making it.
Mom’s “Rules” for Drinking Chai
Even though I’ve streamlined the chai-making process, I still follow my mom’s instructions on how to enjoy a cup of chai to a Tea (heh, get it… T & tea 🤓). If you love chai, you can double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to make even more chai concentrate. If you’re keeping it all for yourself, just freeze the concentrate into ice cubes so they’ll last longer! In the summer, you can use these cubes to make a tasty iced chai drink! Like this recipe?
