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.
