I think back in the auld country they use thick creamy full fat milk and the tea leaves and spices seem fresher.<br>Its the same with eating a Greek salad in Greece and the "same" thing in London.

Haven't had Kashmiri chai, but I have heard it also is a totally different experience. Will try it next time I have the opportunity to try it. Cheers!

I gave up milk for the most part several months ago, so when I make chai for myself, I've been using almond milk. You're right, JAG-- it's not the same, but hahaha.. dumping your cup... um, maybe a bit of an over reaction, no? :) LOL I can't believe I'm seeing this comment from so many months ago!

Do share your recipe if you get it... always fun to compare notes. Also I was very surprised to realize water and air make a huge difference. When I moved to SF my chai tasted so different. Then while in India I realized chai is sooooo different and delicious, thought I think part of that is also milk. In any case, chai is such an experience, isn't it. :) Thanks a million for leaving a comment. Means a lot to me. Have a great weekend.

The key, as you know, to cha is to boil the water and keep it on the heat as you add the tea and milk and the spice. My only complaint with my ma's is that she makes it sickly sweet and i tend to prefer it with no sugar or just a smidgeon. I think one can now even buy pre-packed chai masala powder, although i admit i've never tried it yet I'll have to get the recipe off my ma Sukhjit, but I think its not too different from your recipe.
