This word can also be traced to China, as the Chinese word for tea is Ch\u00e1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trivia aside, chai tea, also known as masala or spiced tea, is a milky brew made with a selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/butterfly-pea-flower-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">different spices<\/a>. This now beloved drink originated from India (as far back as 9,000 years ago where it was used as an Ayurvedic beverage) which has a long history of colonization, forced labour, and classism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/expert-advice\/masala-chai-history-recipe-article\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/the-history-of-masala-chai-tea-765836\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a027<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the rough and painful history, the brew managed to remain resilient and made its way from India, through South Asia, to Britain and now is enjoyed all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_Chai_Tea_At_Home\"><\/span><b>How To Make Chai Tea At Home<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a glance, the making of masala tea seems pretty easy. After all, it&#8217;s just some <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/matcha-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">tea<\/a>, milk, some spice or two, right? Wrong.

We, however, state that none of these answers are correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated in the section above, masala chai is made with four main parts namely the water, spices, milk and a sweetener of choice. While the water and spices obviously have zero calories, the milk and sweetener do &#8211; and depending on the exact type each option used you can have more calories or less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who opts for whole milk will be consuming more calories than anyone who opts for plant based options.
