In India, it is preprared at home every morning and then enjoyed in family before starting the day! The aroma and flavor of chai tea keeps you energized all day! Indians are also having some chai throughout the day buying it from chai wallahs or tea vendors. Chai Masala is now also very popular around the world often known as Chai . But, it is actually a wrong translation as Chai only means milk tea whereas masala means spice mix. Indian Chai is traditionally sweet, but is sometimes served without sugar these days. You can use very basic tea leaves to make Masala Chai,  Orange Pekoe, for example. If you don’t have loose tea you can put tea bags in the water-milk mixture too. You can also use Tea India Masala Chai which is tea bags including the tea and the spices! Even more simple!
