Tea, specifically Masala Tea is an integral part of every Indian household. And the secret ingredient to a hot piping cup of tea is the masala or spice. It is believed in my house that a person who makes consistent tasting tea daily is really a great cook ;)
I remember from all these years, my mother's tea tastes the same daily and she loves her masala that adds a nice spicy ting to the Chai.

Method
Please note you can skip fresh ginger in your tea with this powder. I like to add a few mint leaves and fresh lemon grass to my mix along with this powder.
