Here Are The Key Spices You'll Need To Make Perfect Masala Chai:
1. Cardamom
For your masala chai to turn out flavourful, you've got to add cardamom (elaichi) to it. This spice can be added in two ways: you can either crush it in a mortar and pestle and then add it, or you can opt for cardamom powder as well.
2. Ginger
Just like cardamom, ginger too works as a wonderful flavour enhancer. It adds a kick of spice to the masala chai and is something you should not miss adding. It not only adds flavour but also offers several health benefits.
3. Cloves
To make perfect masala chai, you also need to add cloves (laung) to it. These tiny black buds help add a distinct flavour to the chai. They also give it a delightful aroma, which you're absolutely going to love.
4. Cinnamon
The aroma of cinnamon is truly satisfying. And when added to masala chai, it makes for a stellar combination. You can either directly add the cinnamon sticks while boiling the water or add a pinch of cinnamon powder.
5. Black Peppercorns
Another must-have spice when making masala chai is black peppercorns. They help add a spicy and peppery flavour to it. We suggest crushing the black peppercorns slightly before adding them for a stronger flavour in your chai.
