How to ensure the goodness of Indian masala chai?
-
Do not have tea as the first thing in the morning. At least drink a glass of lemon water or pieces of fruit before consuming tea.
-
The best way to take Indian masala chai is with NOTHING, without any biscuits or any other savory items.
-
This chai to be taken in a normal sized cup, not in any humongous mug. Portion control is the key here. Excess tea does not provide any extra benefit but kills all its goodness.

One or maximum of two cups of tea is fine for a day. Having 6cups of tea a day create unnecessary health issues.
-
Tea should not be taken immediately before or after a meal as it hampers nutrient absorption.
