National Chai Day

Chai tea, one of the most popular tea drinks!

In Asian countries, "chai" means tea.  The meaning of this word changed when India adopted the British way drinking tea and added milk and a sweetener.  More spices were added and a little more milk and masala chai was born.

Masala chai, or mixed spice tea, is what we know as chai tea.  Some of the spices used in chai: green cardamom, ginger, cloves and peppercorn. Hot or iced, there's no wrong way to enjoy this drink.

How to celebrate:  

Pour yourself a glass of chai tea. 

Have a little tea party with a friend or two.  Don't forget tea biscuits!
