TEA MASALA

INTRODUCTION

INGREDIENTS

We Gujaratis are famous for making Masala for spiced tea in India. Try the following combination for spice powder which we follow religiously since generations.

Dry Ginger 150 gms.
cinnamon 50 gms.
Black pepper 50 gms.
Cardamom 25 gms.

 METHOD OF PREPARATION

Make a fine powder of the above and use about two pinches of powder per cup of tea. The best method of mixing the powder is just when the tea is mixed with cream and milk, and heated, if you are using Indian method of making tea) Or if you are making tea English style, you can add tea leaves and Tea masala powder together. Leave it aside covered for about five minutes. Now you can mix cream to tea and use. I have reduced black pepper in the above version from our normal quantity by more than 50% as I think you do not like pepper much in your tea. Ps. Some people add cloves but I have found cloves rob the other spices of their spiciness.

ENJOY!!!! And I would love to have your feed back please.
