Diaspora Co. Chai Masala

From famed Diaspora Co., this chai masala spice blend was many years in the making. This spice-only mixture is rich in cardamom and ginger, sweet with fennel and cinnamon, and spicy with a touch of pepper and cloves. Add it to tea for a perfectly balanced cup, or use it as a distinctive, fragrant addition to your baked goods.

To make your chai: bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot and sprinkle in 1-2 tsp chai masala. Simmer for 2 minutes to let the spices infuse. Add 1 tsp Chota Tingrai Black Tea leaves and 1/2 cup milk (any sort), simmer gently for 2 minutes longer and sweeten to taste with Madhur Jaggery, date syrup or honey. For a cup with less caffeine, Diaspora recommends adding the tea leaves for just the last 30 seconds of simmering. Strain and serve.
