Hot milk, plenty of sugar and spice, and a heavy dose of black tea (or an alternative)... When I'm feeling stressed or I simply want a soothing drink, masala chai (a.k.a. "chai tea") is often the my first choice. If, like me, you love a good cup of chai, check out these chai recipe collections: Masala Chai 101 (which also features basics and reviews) and Best Chai Recipes (which features masala chai recipes from across About.com). Or, check out two of my favorite chai recipes (How to Make Chai from Scratch and Herbal Cardamom Chai Recipe) and two of the most popular chai recipes on the site (Kashmiri Chai Recipe and "Masala Chai Tea" Recipes).
What are your favorite spices for chai? Do you prefer a specific sweetener or type of milk / dairy alternative for your chai, or do you skip additives altogether in favor of a pure tea-and-spice infusion? Share your chai preferences and tips with other About.com readers in the comments below!
