Contrast to the Asian way of drinking tea without added ingredients, the European, India, and now American are drinking Chai, a creamy tea with many spices. Originate from India, the main ingredients are inexpensive black tea with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger powder, and black pepper. Sugar and milk are added before serving.
There are endless ways to make this tea. With the verity of tea choices today, this drink can now be decaffeinated using Rooibos or decaf breakfast blend. Black teas have changed over the years. The best tea in India comes from Darjeeling, Northeastern India. Due to top soil and high elevation, Darjeeling tea can stand on its own without any added ingredients.
Other Chai I have seen in the market are Pumpkin Spice Chai and Green Tea Chai. Sometime Latte is added to Chai referring to a creamy drink. Latte is an Italian word that describes a drink made of steamed milk. Listed below is a recipe calling for Chai tea. Try it and let me know how you like this Chai Spiced Tiramisu.
