MASALA TEA RECIPE, HEALTH BENEFITS AND WIDE RANGES OF MASALA TEA

If something spicy, malty and bold is your need of the day, one must go forth with the famous masala tea. Masala tea or as we Indians love to say ‘chai’ is a mixture of tea milk and all our Indian rich flavoured spices or masala as we say. Originating from India it has gained popularity all over the world and is featured in most coffee and tea shops.
Tea in ancient time was used more as an Ayurvedic herbal tea rather than a recreational drink. The spices used in the masala chai are still used in making ‘Karha’ used for different ailments.
The official promotion of tea was served the English mode, with small added amounts of milk and sugar. The Indian Tea Association had initially disapproved of independent vendors' habit  to add spices and  increase the proportions of milk and sugar, thus reducing the usage of tea leaves (and thus purchase) of tea leaves per liquid volume. However, masala chai in its present form has now firmly established itself as a popular beverage.
Masala chai has such uniqueness to its flavours which are enriched with our Indian culture. On every street tea corner our chai wallah’s promote our authentic and amazing masala chai best enjoyed with added milk. Europeans in cold weather prefer a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. But in India it is 'Masala chai' which not just any milk tea but our very own comfort of happiness.
One will not believe if I say that masala chai is not only mesmerizing you with its flavours but also providing you with few added health benefits. May I list down few for you to wonder about and maybe convince you to be inclined more towards masala chai if you are already not.
  1. Anti-inflammatory:All the spices present in the masala chai combine together to combat any sort of inflammation occurring in the body. One such important ingredient is ginger. A paper published by the National Institute of Health highlighted ginger’s ability to stop the synthesis of prostaglandins (a major player in the initiation of the inflammation process) and leukotriene biosynthesis, which in turn helps reduce the amount of inflammation one experiencesAnother component is clove. Packed with the compound eugenol it helps relieving the inflammation of the muscle.Add these spices and you would surely not need painkillers.
  1. Beats fatigue: A hot cup of masala chai is the best thing after a long hard day. The tea contains tannin and caffeine too. It really lifts your spirit up and helps in relaxing your muscles making you tension free.
  1. Fights cold and flu:  Believed to be packed with all the good immunity boosters it has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties helps fighting cold and flu and helps us to stay fit and keep such diseases at bay. Containing clove, ginger, elaichi(cardamom) and other spices it’s the best herbal medicine for cold.
  1. Improves digestion:‘Masala chai contains spices like clove, tulsi, ginger and elaichi. This masala chai on its own is acidic in nature but with added ginger it helps in digestion and fat cutting.
  1. Good for heart: Black tea (one of the main constituents of masala chai) is known for the strong anti-oxidant properties it contains. Apart from that, spices like clove and elaichi also keeps cholesterol in check. One’s blood pressure and heart rate is also controlled by the tannin present in this tea hence stopping atrial block hence reducing risks.
  1. Helps in weight loss
  1. Reduces diabetes: Clove, cinnamon and elaichi are both known to help prevent diabetes by increasing the insulin sensitivity in the body and lowering one’s blood sugar levels. Are helpful in diabetes to lower sugar level and increase the level of insulin sensitivity
