In India, a chia masala, or tea mixture, is sold on every street in varying strengths by chaiwallas, or tea vendors. Truckers might ask for a "100 kilometer" or a "500 kilometer" chai. Chai is made with tea, spices, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, black pepper and milk. All are boiled together to make a potent, but cosseting concoction. The tea provides flavor, body and fragrance. The spices provide heat, warmth and aroma. The milk tempers the somewhat ferocious Indian spices to a soothing brew. It is served heavily sweetened with honey. It is also good in the summer – the spices make you glow and cool you off!
