Wagh Bakri Masala Tea Bags
€6,99
Black tea bags with the chai masala already blended in, so no pan and no spice tin are needed. The listing states neither a bag count nor a net weight, so both are left blank. One unit showing at the time of writing. Same-day delivery across the Utrecht region.
Description
Masala chai at home usually means a spice tin, a pestle, and a pan that has to be watched. A spiced tea bag is the compromise for mornings when none of that is going to happen, and Wagh Bakri’s version leans on cardamom and ginger rather than trying to cram in every spice on the list.
It works properly only if you treat it as chai rather than as English tea. Put the bag in a mug with milk and water in roughly equal parts, microwave or heat it to a genuine boil, then let it stand a minute before pulling the bag. Steeped in plain hot water it tastes thin and the spices sit oddly on top.
Do I need to add my own masala? No, the spice is already in the bag. Add a crushed cardamom pod only if you like it considerably stronger than most.
Can I make it without milk? You can, but it is not designed for it. The spices are balanced against dairy and taste sharp and unbalanced in plain water.
For pan brewed chai from the same house, buy the plain Wagh Bakri kilo, and Indian tea and chai has more of both. Vegetarian. Keep the box closed and away from strong smelling spices, because paper bags take up whatever is next to them.
