Spill the Chai!

“Garam Chai! Garam Chai!”

If you’ve ever stepped onto the streets of India, you’ve heard this ubiquitous chant from the local Chaiwallah, serving up fresh, hot chai that he’s been brewing all day at his street kiosk.  “Chai” is “spiced black tea with milk” and “Wallah” means “seller or maker”, so a Chaiwallah is just that, a maker and seller of masala Chai.  And a Chaiwalli is a female chai maker/seller.

These easy to bake muffins are delicious, satisfying and filled with heart healthy goodness.  Go ahead, dunk them into your chai!  Sooo good!

It happens every year, spring literally gets sprung upon us.  Maybe it’s being buried under cold temperatures, long hours at work and the hustle after the holidays that keep us in the dark. And then, voila! Spring starts peeking out from under the clouds and things start to look a bit more cheery.  It’s the perfect time to reset, recharge and reaffirm what fuels us, what brings us joy and what fills our cup.   Spring cleaning can mean opening our doors and windows; it can also mean doing a little mental, emotional and physical spring cleaning to help us be healthy, feel good and be good. Experts have lots of great ideas on how we can reset and charge ahead.  We’ve compiled a few ideas here to kick start your spring cleanse.

We akin reading a good book to sitting with a good cup of chai. They allow us to slow down, savor each sip and word and be transported to a moment of pure pleasure.

Introducing our utterly romantic Love Chai, a beautiful blend of roses and cardamom with whispers of floral sweetness.

Weather a bit nippy? Cozy up to a warm cup of chai and this deliciously satisfying Masala Chai Spiced Cake.  This was my mom's go-to recipe for a comforting, simple vanilla "Busy Day Cake" which we spiced up, and wow! she would totally approve! It's so easy to make, just like our chai 😊.

There is little more comforting than a warm mug of masala chai. With ethically sourced botanicals in balance with the milk of your choosing, enjoying chai doesn't have to be a complex process to become a welcome part of your daily ritual.
