Chef's Note
For the most authentic masala chai flavor, try toasting the whole spices (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves) in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before grinding them. This activates the essential oils and creates a more aromatic profile. You can prepare a batch of this spice blend and store it in an airtight container for future use.
