Design
This kit includes everything you need to make Diaspora’s House Masala Chai down to your cup and tea strainer. For a single serving, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of Diaspora’s Chai Masala and simmer for two minutes, allowing for the spices to infuse into the water, before adding your milk, Chota Tingrai Black Tea, and Madhur Jaggery Powder for sweetener. Bring back to a gentle boil then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. From the saucepan, pour through your tea strainer into your Kulhad. If you're serving this chai iced, save your Kulhad for another time and use 3/4 cup of water at the beginning to account for ice dilution.
