Decaf Masala Chai
This is a recipe for a creamy cup of decaf masala chai that does not compromise on the strong black tea flavor or aromatic Indian spices but lacks caffeine to allow you to enjoy chai at any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup water
- 1.5 teaspoons store bought or homemade chai masala
- 8 decaf black tea bags
- 1-3 tablespoons sugar based on taste
- 1.5 cups whole milk
Instructions
- Bring 1.5 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Add 1.5 teaspoons store bought or homemade chai masala, 8 decaf black tea bags, and 1-3 tablespoons sugar and allow the spices and tea to steep together for ~3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1.5 cups whole milk and stir. Allow the milk to boil, foam, and rise, which should take 7-9 minutes. Once it starts to rise, turn off the heat. It is important to keep a close eye on the pot or the milk may overflow.
- Pour tea into cups, making sure to divide equally. Add more sugar to taste.

Notes and Tips
- The rule of thumb is that 1 tablespoon loose leaf black tea = 2 tablespoons of decaf loose leaf black tea (steep for x2 the time if going this route) = 8 decaf black tea bags.
