Chai is a welcome drink in every Indian home or business and can warm you up in cold weather and cool you down during the hot months.
Traditional basic Chai spices are cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper and cloves. We added Belgian White chocolate and got a delight - White Chocolate Spiced Chai... It is at once rich and astringent, with pleasant overtures of spice and a sensuous Belgian chocolate finish. The drink produces a warm soothing effect and engenders a wonderfully calming effect on the body.
Full bodied black Assam adds complexity and depth to this Chai. Cinnamon is great for lowering blood pressure, ginger is good for digestion, cloves an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and cardamom a great aid to digestion and detoxification.... and Chocolate is for pure pleasure! Some scientists prove chocolate is 'better than being in love'... It is questionable... but may be true.
