About Chai with sugar

Chai with sugar is a popular beverage originating from South Asia, often associated with Indian cuisine. It is made by brewing black tea leaves with a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, then simmering the mixture with milk and adding sugar for sweetness. The spices in chai are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which may support digestion and overall wellness. Black tea provides a moderate amount of caffeine, offering a gentle energy boost. However, the addition of sugar and whole milk increases the calorie content, which could be a concern if consumed in excess. When prepared mindfully, chai can be a nourishing treat that embodies the warmth and heritage of its origin. For those watching sugar intake or calories, alternatives like low-fat milk and natural sweeteners can make this comforting beverage a healthier choice.
