In these trying times, I’ve established a cycle of drinks I go through each day — coffee in the early morning, some water to stay hydrated, chai in the early afternoon, some more water, a glass of wine or beer if I’m feeling extravagant and finally some more water.
This recipe is for chai, although I’ll consider making a cookbook for the other three drinks if enough people email me asking. I do not claim to be an expert on chai and am in fact probably the opposite, but I do like the spicy yet sweet caffeinated drink I pull off — even if it’s only one of many variations of the drink.
I have this premade chai masala powder that’s composed of cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise, ginger, clove, cardamom and black pepper. My friend got it for me for Christmas during his study abroad in India, but there’s no reason to purchase it already packaged like this if you already have all of these spices. It’s much better if you use the whole spices and grind or smash them yourself. If you do have the spices, just add whatever feels right and grind them into smaller bits.
