Homemade Masala Chai Concentrate (Spiced Milk Tea)

Making masala chai at home is extremely easy, yet so many people will go to their favorite coffee shop and get one there instead. Often times they're using a concentrate that could be made at home in a few minutes, and have the best one you've ever had. Plus that means masala chai, hot or iced, whenever you want it in seconds.

Everytime someone says 'chai tea' I chuckle a little

For those of you who are lactose intolerant, Masala Chai tastes amazing with coconut milk :)

This is dream content for me...other than the fact you keep saying 'masala chai tea' lol. You're effectively saying 'masala tea tea'

You can also pan-toast to bloom the spices if you're paying very close attention to it. That's what my grandmother used to do ^_^

Us South Asians will never get tired of saying "IT'S NOT CHAI TEA"

Why do I always end up in this guy’s drawer?

[kajal]

i love that he actually adds ginger and nutmeg. other recipes i’ve seen don’t include it and imo that’s what gives masala chai a good kick! love it with oat milk or evaporated milk!

I’ve always made a masala chai concentrate and I let the spices hang out until the liquid is room temperature, so much flavour! I add fennel seeds to mine, helps improve digestion. I use almond milk (I don’t do dairy) and sometimes I use a vanilla almond milk (so good) and it’s like a dessert in a cup.

I've been hanging onto this for a while and finally tried it out today. All I can say is WOW! Where has this been all my life??!! I added a star anise since I have them. And I even used tea bags since that's what I have. Still the best masala chai I've ever had. The best way I can describe it is "smooth". It's like the flavors are just melded together better than you get with store bought chai teabags or concentrates. I'll be upgrading to a good loose leaf when I run out of bags, but even as is it's fantastic!

I can’t get over how much I love this channel. I’ve been missing cooking channels. There’s a bunch of good ones but nobody makes easy, quick, recipes everyone can do anymore. Then you came along with all that charisma and the obvious passion for your craft. Thanks for making your vids dude :))

I try to hide from this guy in his house but he keeps finding me. Maybe I shouldn't keep hiding the cupboard.

Nice recipe to start with and nice to educate more westerners. You are right there are countless recipes and even family members might make their daily chai slightly differently, as some like it more spicy and add more pepper and crushed ginger, where others highlight different flavours. The best thing is to experiment and see what tickles your own fancy. It is a healthy start to a day, especially the colder mornings. Most families I stayed with in rural India and in the towns would make it fresh every morning for the morning brew and during the day and not keep it overnight. Don’t think of the more time it takes to make as a chore, but more of a nice healthy, tasty start and time to chat to family members in a relaxed way, or catch up on your plans for the day. Chill with a hot drink.

Omg I’m Indian dude and this is Indian approved, masala chai is what you want it to be. Keep being awesome!

[honeya]

This is in the south SAUDI Arabia called ( Chai Adani ) tea with milk, it’s amazing with breakfast 🥞

[akashkariwal]

typically, in India, the leaves don't just stew, they are boiled. and boiled hard, with milk. the idea with even water is to get the liquid slightly thickened by boiling, maybe the tea leaves have that quality, maybe it's the just the milk reducing. that being said, this looks quite nice

Honestly I was dreading having to read a boujie recipe, but you really did justice man, my grandma will be proud

To all those complaining that "chai tea" is redundant: this video is in English, not Hindi. In English, chai doesn't mean tea, it means a specific style of tea, as opposed to green tea or sweet tea.
