Chai-inspired Recipes For Any Festive Occasion

1st Shared By

Chai is a popular drink in many cultures around the world, and it is often served at special events and celebrations, such as religious festivals, weddings ceremonies and birthdays.

Drawing on Chai’s rich history, Tetley Masala Chai and Elaichi Chai are crafted using Tetley’s signature blend of rich, flavourful black teas combined with distinctive spices from the heart of India. They can be prepared in the traditional way by boiling the teabags in milk, or made with boiling water and added milk and sugar for those who want a quick cuppa. They are also the perfect flavourful addition to any recipe that needs to be spiced up!

Here are a few chai-inspired recipes that are perfect for any festive occasion:
