Masala chai translates literally to “spiced tea”. Describing it as the national drink of

India is not a stretch. Sold by chai wallahs (tea vendors) on the streets of India, masala

chai is an everyday staple for many Indians, and it is now gaining popularity in other

countries. I love it for its comforting warmth, which makes it the perfect drink to have

during the monsoon season or any cold weather. A friend once gave me a bag of masala

chai (spiced black tea) blend from India. I’m no expert when it comes to Indian cuisine,

so I used it in something I’m more confident at – baking! I once shared these muffins at

a vegan potluck in Singapore and my Indian friends gave their stamp of approval. You

can use this recipe to make any flavour of muffins you like!
