Wanna make this one straight-up? Masala chai is designed to be steeped in warm milk (or a milk alternative) to draw all the flavors out of the blend, but hey, we're not your boss, do what you want. Here's instructions to do it straight.

• Use 7g (≈1 tbsp) of leaf per ½ liter (≈17 oz) of water.

• Use boiling (90°C/195°F) water

• Steep for 3 minutes, strain leaves, and enjoy!

• If you make this straight-up, don't forget to try for multiple infusions! Just add time to each steep.

  • For under 2:00 steep times, add 30 sec.

  • For 2:00 to 4:00, add 1 minute.

  • For over 4:00, add 2 minutes or more.

• Want just a little milk in your tea, rather than just a full latte? Steep an extra couple minute!

• Too strong? Take off a minute, or use less  leaf instead!

• Too light? Kick it up another minute, or use more leaf instead!

• Indian Assam Black tea

• Cardamom

• Cinnamon

• Ginger root

• Orange peels

• Cloves

• Licorice root

• Black pepper

• Apple pieces

• Safflower petals

• Natural apple & cinnamon extract
