The word "chai" (pronounced as "ch-ai") is actually the Hindi word for "tea." In English-speaking countries, "chai" often refers specifically to spiced Indian tea, but in Hindi and some other languages, it simply means "tea."

Is it chai tea latte or chai latte?

Chai means tea so technically when you say chai tea, you're saying tea tea. In the West, this drink is often called chai tea latte to explain to customers better what it is but this is technically. Technically, it should be Masala Chai Latte.

Ingredients

Scale

3 tbsp ground cinnamon

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add all spices to a jar or a bowl and shake or whisk everything together until well combined.
Store in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Notes

You can use a small fine-mesh strainer for the ginger if it's too clumpy before you mix it with the rest of the ingredients but this is optional. I usually just smush the bigger pieces with a spoon to get rid of them.
The spice will keep best in a cool dry place away from sunlight but it doesn’t need to be in the fridge.
The recipe yields 1/2 cup and 2 tbsp and makes around 33 servings when using 1 tsp per serving.
