Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Green cardamom pods
- 2 inch pieces Cinnamon stick
- 10 pieces Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Gather all the spices: green cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
Use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to slightly crush the green cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, black peppercorns, and fennel seeds. This helps release their essential oils and intensifies the flavor.
Combine the crushed spices with the ground ginger and ground nutmeg in a small mixing bowl.
Stir the spices together until thoroughly mixed.
Transfer the chai masala blend to an airtight container or spice jar for storage.
To use, add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of chai masala to your tea while brewing, depending on your desired intensity.
Store at room temperature for up to 6 months for maximum freshness.
