Chai (pronounced like ‘chye’) means tea. In India, chai is prepared with milk, water, sugar and spices.
The spices vary according to region, family recipe, the preparer’s personal preference, or whatever is in the cupboard.
But… wherever you taste chai in India it will be smooth, strong in tea flavor, spicy…and memorable.

Long ago the families of India were cared for by natural healing doctors called ‘vaidyas’. The vaidya’s task was to oversee the well being of each
family member. Using the vast pharmacopia of herbs, flowers and spices, the vaidya would prepare special wholesome foods and beverages
in harmony with each person’s constitution. Some of these recipes became family traditions and have been handed down for the benefit of future
generations. Chai as we know it today in the West, has its roots in this great Ayruvedic healing tradition of India.
