Great chai masala - coming from an Indian!  Review by  AP

I have tried a few different chai masalas and I must say this is definitely at the top of my list. The flavor is not overwhelmingly any one spice and is a great balanced taste. For the days I don't have time to use the stovetop or just have a microwave to work with, I take 1/4 cup of milk, add 1/4 tsp of spice masala to it. I stick in in the microwave for a minute (keep an eye on it so it doesn't overflow!) until the milk boils and rises to almost the top of the cup. I do it one more time as it only takes a few seconds the 2nd time around but it really brings out the flavor of the spice blend. I then pour boiling water over my black tea leaves in my strainer (right in the cup), wait for about 5-6 minutes for the tea to steep, remove leaves, add sweetener, give it a stir and ENJOY! Perfect cup of tea for the cold grey fall days.

Wonderful and warming  Review by  Enid

This is a great tasting chai (I did make a little change to the instructions by adding a little milk during the boil and steep time then adding a little more milk and sugar to my tastes after it was done). The spices are fresh, it is not too peppery like some, and the blend is great. I'm already about halfway through it after just a couple of months.

Yummy, tasty and just plain good  Review by  ['Enid']

I have become addicted to making my own chai tea using a masala mix and I have purchased several brands of the powder. This blend is fabulous! The spices are rich and fresh and make for a tasty comforting drink. It's a smoother blend, not peppery (you can always add a little pepper if you miss the kick). It is also amazing as a nighttime drink with just the milk and no tea. The biggest mistake people make with the powders is not realizing a little goes a long way. If it tastes overwhelming, thin it down with some plain tea and add a little more sweetener. I don't follow the instructions they have listed here. The spices in chai are fat-soluble so you will get a better flavor if you use some whole milk or nut milk or even a small sliver of coconut oil as part of the steeping process. Instead of starting with just water, I will substitute a small portion with whole milk or nut milk (a 3 or 4-1 ratio) or add a tablespoon of powdered whole milk. If you don't want to add the milk now, you can include a sliver of coconut oil to help pull out the flavors. Use the same proportions as in the brewing guide. Bring the liquid to a boil. Add the spice. The liquid will quickly return to a full boil - then take the pan off the burner, add the tea leaves and let it cool for 3-4 minutes. Strain the mixture into a cup, add sweetener and whatever additional milk as desired, and drink. I like the smoother taste of the tea with this method. I will also make a liquor that I can add to any tea. Bring 8 oz of water to a full boil. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of masala spice plus a sliver of coconut oil. Let it boil for 15-20 seconds, remove from heat and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Strain and store for later use. This lets me have an instant treat by adding the mixture to any leftover tea (I have done this with herbal teas as well as black teas - and yes, some work better than others). If you don't have the time but are desperate for the flavor of chai, you can add a scant 1/4 teaspoon of spice directly to your freshly poured 8-12 oz of strong hot tea. It doesn't taste as smooth and you definitely don't want to drink that last mouthful where the spice has accumulated in the bottom of your cup. But - it works in a pinch.
