As I don't really care for milk in my tea, I asked my friend Christine to provide her insight on Friday Afternoon Tea's Masala Chai:
Ingredients: Ingredients: Black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, natural vanilla flavoring
Prepared with whole milk and sugar
"This chai has a good balance of flavors. I can taste the vanilla and cinnamon without them fighting for dominance. I usually don’t like chais that have vanilla but this is good. Nice mouth feel. It makes a very enjoyable cup; would drink again."
For myself, I sampled a little bit of the chai brew without benefit of milk or sugar and immediately reached for the jar of honey. I almost never want sugar in my tea. Without benefit of milk or sweetener, the cardamom and ginger are the front-facing flavors and my mouth feels a little gritty.
Lesson learned - make this as the chaiwallas intended!
