About Chai tea

Chai tea is a spiced, aromatic beverage originating from India, where it is known as "masala chai." Traditionally, it combines black tea with a blend of warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and black pepper, often steeped with milk and sweetened with sugar or honey. Chai is rich in antioxidants from the black tea, which can help combat free radicals and support overall health. The spices provide additional benefits, such as aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity. However, chai prepared with high amounts of sugar or full-fat milk can increase calorie content, making moderation important for those watching their intake. Known for its comforting flavor and versatility, chai can be adapted to suit individual preferences, whether enjoyed traditionally or with plant-based milk alternatives for a lighter option.
