Crafting Your Healing Chai

Implementing the power of these spices into your everyday routine can be done through a simple yet potent chai recipe. Begin with infusing fresh ginger, then add a touch of cinnamon to the brew, followed by a couple of whole cloves and a sprinkle of ground cardamom. Steep these in hot water to create a concentrated spiced tea before adding milk and your choice of sweetener.

Regular consumption can offer continued health benefits, whether as part of your morning ritual or an evening solace. The spices complement each other not only in flavor but also in their curative capabilities.

Furthermore, Dr. A. Sharma, a nutrition expert, underscores the invaluable addition of a spiced chai to a balanced diet to support overall well-being.

Scientific research adds a robust layer of credibility:

  • Antioxidant activity, as presented in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, spotlights clove as a potent ally against oxidative stress.
