Probably a stupid question, but once boiling after you add the milk, do you then remove from the heat entirely while it steeps? Made my first cup today, really enjoyed it! I was tired of “cafe” bought chais that were incredibly too sweet, happy to make them at home to my taste.
@@KolkataChaiCo The bag says to "boil" with the milk and then "steep three minutes." I think the question was how to do the steeping part. You seem to skip it in the video.
I am in love with this tea!! My daughter in law gifted it to me and I will be ordering more. Love it with oat milk and the ginger is so yummy in the tea!!!
Do you take it off the heat while it steeps for 3 minutes or do you boil it the whole time? I can't figure this out, the instructions dont say and neither does this video since he puts it back on the stove after it boils
Found it! Frustrating that I had to look hard for it tho. 😢 "After adding milk, boil the chai on high heat. Wait until bubbles form and chai rises, then simmer on low heat."
Another person who’s confused by both the video and your written instructions. When it says “steep for 3 minutes” after boiling the milk, do you completely take it off the heat to steep?
I never mix ginger with milk tea. The idea seems so strange to me even though I'm South Asian. Have you tried this recipe with other milk substitutes? Between soy, almond, or oat mylk, which would you recommend?
My wife’s family is from Kerala. The way her and Amma taught me to make chai was with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Definitely adds a unique kick! Will have to try adding some cloves and black pepper
@@KolkataChaiCo The instructions aren't clear about the steeping part. Remove it from heat to steep? Keep it boiling the whole three minutes? Keep it on the heat but reduce to a simmer?

You should never preserve chai and reheat and use it. It’s best had fresh. Reheating not just affects it’s taste but makes it loose it’s nutritional value and it’s known to be harmful to the body.
high heat lets the spices and tea extract properly into the milk and water for a deep and rich chai -- adding cold milk will lend itself to a lighter brew, which is fine if that's what you prefer!
legit the best chai I've had. I didn't think I could make it at home lmao but I got their kit and even my mom was surprised how good it was. fr crazy good
boy the audio makes it sound like you're in an aircraft hanger. If you slowed down your delivery, and carefully enunciate, that would improve the quality. How is this mic'd?

Just got my kit, devoured my first cup and the cookies slapped too!!! Thank you!
Best tea ive ever had. I had no idea a flavor like this exists. I cant get enough
It’s so delicious. Thx for the video
Great video! Your chai blend looks very convenient for anyone who doesn't want to crush up cardamom every morning.
Thanks! This is exactly one of our mission. We want to help people save time and enjoy chai as well :D

We recommend bringing to a boil once the milk has been added, this allows all the flavors to extract !
Thank you, once it comes to a boil, how long do you leave it to boil or do you immediately remove from heat?
@@KolkataChaiCo The bag says to "boil" with the milk and then "steep three minutes." I think the question was how to do the steeping part. You seem to skip it in the video.
Yes, but do you immediately take it off the heat once it starts to boil and then let it sit and steep?
I had the same question... Do you leave the pot on the heat during the "steep" for 2 minutes step or remove from heat and "steep" ?

Finally! This is what real Masala Chai tastes like! Brings me back to getting a cup in the streets of Delhi!

Just tried my first cup, spectacular!
We got the variety pack, such delicious chai flavor...I'm going to try out the rose chai today!
Any advice for preparing this somewhere where you don't have a stovetop (say, an office)?
Get a little hot plate, maybe.

For some reason, they’re refusing to answer this question. I don’t get why.
When you steep, it is always off the heat.
Never steep while boiling. Will be bitter or take away nutrients. When you take off heat. It’s still hot. As with any tea msking
I LVE Masala tea.first time i saw your recipe.i am your subscriber
That made my mouth water just watching this! 🤤
Is it three level teaspoons or heaping?
Can I make this ahead of time? With oat milk?
I loooove the Rose Masala Chai Mix with soy milk mmmmmmm heaven in a cup !!!❤
From Kolkata, we cannot wait to come thru my g ❤️
My neighbor from India burns sugar first then add water to it and it gives it nice smell
basically making a sort of caramel. interesting flavor. I make sugar syrup for pancakes--its very tasty.
Im confused about how to do the steeping step. Can you do a video update on it? ❤
How much ginger do you add?
Thank you for this.
I never mix ginger with milk tea. The idea seems so strange to me even though I'm South Asian. Have you tried this recipe with other milk substitutes? Between soy, almond, or oat mylk, which would you recommend?
If you want it to taste mostly authentic, use oat milk (barista blend)
They use oat milk in their cafe and it’s pretty good
almond milk is mostly water and the almonds are sprayed with pesticides on a regular basis. Avoid unless Certified Organic.
Oatmilk works great for a non dairy alternative! Don't be afraid of ginger, it has amazing health properties and give chai that inimitable zing :)
My wife’s family is from Kerala. The way her and Amma taught me to make chai was with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Definitely adds a unique kick!
Will have to try adding some cloves and black pepper
Is this exactly how you make it in the store?
Any way to use this in a cold extract? Like doing cold brew with coffee?
not sure but hey do have a chai concentrate that's cold
Ok. So do people simmer for 3 min After adding milk or do you bring the milk to a boil then kill the heat and wait 3 min?
hey! you can follow our easy instructions here: kolkatachai.co/pages/chai-making-guide

I'll trust you. SO MUCH IS AT STAKE!!! MY MILENEAL ANXIETY!!!!@@TrueBipytron
How much milk did you add?
My guess is a cup but he doesn't give an amount :/
The package I got says 1 cup of milk or milk alternative.
Our recipe calls for a 1:1 ratio of water to milk so in this recipe we're adding a cup of milk to a cup of water.
Has anyone tried larger batches and saving it in the fridge? Does it still taste good?
I was wondering about this too
like coffee, it will deteriorate in quality/flavor
We do this all the time! It stays great in the fridge for 2-3 and tastes great when reheated on a stove top.
You should never preserve chai and reheat and use it. It’s best had fresh. Reheating not just affects it’s taste but makes it loose it’s nutritional value and it’s known to be harmful to the body.
I don't like to boil milk - think it's better when not heated so high. Can you just add milk to prepared/boiled tea & spices?
high heat lets the spices and tea extract properly into the milk and water for a deep and rich chai -- adding cold milk will lend itself to a lighter brew, which is fine if that's what you prefer!

How much caffeine is in a single serving?
it's about 30 mg of caffeine per serving, but varies on how long you steep it for and how much chai mix you use
HAHAHA I mistakenly put 3 tablespoons of chai. Nearly died how strong it was LOL!!!

So your kit isn’t enough, you need milk, ginger, sugar. lol got it…
