If you think of chai tea, you automatically think of the delicious scent of ginger and cardamom. Originally chai tea was a drink made from a mix of spices native to India and used for medicinal purposes. However, this gorgeous frothy drink we know and love today, often loaded with milk and sugar, wasn’t always made this way.
It is thought that chai originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and was used for Ayurveda, which means the ‘study of life.’ This ancient alternative medicinal practice focuses on constant balance and well-being. The many health benefits of chai tea make it relatively easy to see why a large portion of the populace in India still follow this alternative medicine practice today!
