It's all about your preference!
Masala chai, also known as Spiced Chai, is a beloved traditional Indian tea that combines a rich blend of spices, ginger, and milk. While it’s more commonly enjoyed in Indian culture than in Pakistani culture, my in my frequent traveling to india I savored countless cups of this delicious tea. The addition of spices to masala chai transforms an ordinary cup of tea into a delightful experience, making it extra relaxing, calming, and soothing to the senses.
