Chai Masala - 4 Ingredients
Description
The Chai Masala recipe combines four spices: green cardamom pods, fennel seeds, black cardamom pods, and cloves. Each ingredient is dry roasted over low heat for a brief couple of minutes to enhance their aromatic qualities without burning. After cooling, the spices are coarsely ground to preserve texture and flavor release during brewing.
This blend is designed for adding to chai tea, contributing characteristic spiced floral and resinous notes. The green cardamom provides sweet, eucalyptus-like flavors, fennel seeds add a subtle licorice taste, black cardamom brings smoky and earthy depth, and cloves contribute warmth and pungency.
The powder is stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and fragrance. A dry spoon is recommended for use to avoid moisture contamination. This simple four-spice blend offers a straightforward base for chai, allowing customization or addition of other spices as desired in brewing.
