Well damn. Cinnamon tea is something I've made often -- and I presume it's the equivalent to a lot?

- dghughes 5y agoChai tea would also have a lot on cinnamon in it. I think it's the main spice.
- jimmyed 5y agoIt's one of the spices. There is no ISO-like standard for making chai and there is variation, but cinnamon is most often not added at all. (Disclaimer: I spent 12 years operating a tea stall in Shimla)
- AdmiralAsshat 5y agoMost homemade Chai tea recipes I'm familiar with tend to drop a cinnamon stick into the pot to infuse, rather than dissolving ground cinnamon into it. I'm not sure how much realistically leeches out when you drop a stick in, but I'd assume less than a "dissolved" teaspoon (which rarely actually "dissolves", in my experience--usually it just floats on top of the liquid).
- hazza_n_dazza 5y agocinnamon, cardamom, star anise, cloves, ginger. grind then dry fry on pan then add water and milk (and tea leaves if you want). it's a really great high. there are of course many local and regional variations.
- samarthr1 5y agoI don't know about others, bit at home for my daily tea(or is it bi daily now), I use an eighth of a teaspoon of cinnamon, some cardamom, and ginger. I boil the ginger in water, add tea leaves, add milk bring to a near boil and then finally add in the other spices
