Chai Masala (Spiced Tea) is a tea blend with origins in India. It is traditionally a mix of black tea and spices that is steeped in milk with sweeteners added to it. For this blend, we've taken our popular Chai tea blend and added the subtle, creamy flavor of French Vanilla. This tea brews to an amber cup with a spicy aroma and a taste that is creamy with spice notes. Rich and delicious tasting!
Ingredients: Organic: Black tea blend, cinnamon pieces, anise seeds, cloves, vanilla, cardamom pods, nutmeg, and ginger.
Hot Tea:
Brew tea at 195º - Use 1-2 tsp. leaf per 8 oz. water. Allow boiling water to cool slightly, then pour over leaves. Steep 3-4 minutes.
Iced Tea:
Prepare the loose tea: Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 1 cup of water. For example, if you're making 8 cups of tea, then steep eight 8 teaspoons of loose tea leaves in 8 cups of hot water. Add an additional 1-2 teaspoons of tea leaves for a stronger, bolder flavor, or if using a delicately-flavored tea.
*Gallon: use 2 oz of loose leaf tea (roughly 1-1 1/2 cups depending on leaf size)
Once the hot water is ready, pour it over the tea leaves and steep for the blend's recommended period of time.
To sweeten, add 1/4 cup of sugar or honey per 1 gallon of tea and adjust to taste. Be sure to add the sweetener while the tea is still hot and stir well until fully dissolved.
Once steeped, pour the hot tea concentrate into a serving pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or let cool to room temperature and serve over extra ice.
Mason Jar Iced Tea:
Fill a mason jar with hot water. Steep 2-4 tsp for 8 minutes. Place it in the refrigerator until cold
Optional: Stir in sugar or honey while the tea is still warm so it dissolves easily
