Chai is virtually the mainstay of Indian Culture. Even when fresh cold drinking water cannot be found you will inevitably encounter a "chai wallah", or chai seller yelling, "Chayee! Chayee!" On a personal level, Chai produces a warm soothing effect and engenders a wonderfully calming aspect on the body. Steep Chai piping hot with some sugar so that you can experience the incredible flavor of all the exotic spices. 2 oz loose Chai makes approx. 20-30. HOW TO PREPARE CHAI: Begin by turning your bag of Chai upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom of the bag during transit. Use fresh water. Place 1 heaping tsp of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. While the Chai is steeping, prepare your cup to receive the Chai by putting 2 tsp of sugar in the cup and add milk (about 20% of cup volume) When the Chai is ready, pour into the cup.
