Masala Chai

By cookism

When we were in Nepal, two things in particular made a lasting impression on us among the many pleasant memories: the stunning Annapurna peaks and the humble masala chai. While the coffee in Nepal is hit-or-miss, nothing warms the heart and soul quite like a cup of steaming hot masala tea, brewed with the finest organic leaves and a myriad of spices to give this beverage its distinctively rich and unique taste—one that lingers on the palate and in the mind.

• 2 tbsp of Organic Black Tea Leaves
