India as the birthplace of the Chai Latte
In many parts of the world, Chai is simply the name for tea.
When we talk about the Chai from India, we are actually talking about spiced, milky tea. A combination of powerful black tea, milk, herbs and sweetener.
These herbs differ from family to family and often depend on the region. Usually it concerns cardamom, ginger, pepper, cloves and cinnamon, but a little research on the internet shows that there are many variants to be found.
In India this tea is part of life and here too it is so delicious that you have to be very strong to pass a second cup .
