Explore different ways to brew chai
Classic masala chai — Brew black tea with milk and a warming blend of spices.
Ginger chai — Use fresh ginger for a cup with a bold, peppery kick.
Cardamom chai — Lightly crush the pods to release their sweet, floral aroma.
Spice-forward chai — Experiment with cinnamon, cloves, or black pepper to change the flavor of your brew.
Brew with ingredients you already have
Start with tea, water, milk, and your choice of sweetener. A single spice can give your chai its own character, so you can start with what’s in the kitchen and try new combinations as you go. Follow the recipe from prepping the spices to simmering the tea and straining it into your cup.
Make each cup your own
Like your chai strong and less sweet? Use more tea and add sweetener to taste. Prefer a creamier cup? Adjust the balance of milk and water. If you love ginger but find cloves overpowering, dial one up and the other down. Start with a recipe, taste as you go, and find the balance you’d happily brew again.

Make a quick cup before work, put a pot on for guests, or brew something fragrant to go with an evening snack. Whether you’re making stovetop chai for the first time or changing up a recipe you already know by heart, Chai Elder Mage gives you a place to start.
