Once the temperature drops, we crave chai flavors. Although there’s no formal recipe or prep method for chai tea, it usually involves brewing a strong black tea with warming, aromatic spices like ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg. With interesting ingredients like superfood turmeric, rose petals, fennel, peppercorns, and more, it’s a delicious time to start getting into chai. Not to mention chai tea is packed with health benefits, from boosting the body’s immune system to aiding with digestion. Here are our current favorite chai tea blends to cozy up with this fall.
