I’m basically a tea drinker and usually prefer to have some ginger tea. I also keep a stack of some chai masala ready as my husband especially loves it. It adds a nice aroma to the tea and very refreshing. It is made by using different herbs which are very good for health. So, sharing an easy recipe today to make some tea masala powder.

    We moved to Canada from England when I was eight years old, but I never lost my love of tea. It's always great to learn new ways to enjoy something you already love. Thanks for the recipe!
