Attention Chai addicts because the ultimate treat is here: Masala Chai spread! Super easy to make, it’s perfect for drizzling over pancakes and waffles, spreading over toast or anything you can imagine. The ingredient list is short and the taste is amazing. This Masala Chai spread recipe will get you hooked!

I’ve seen several spreads made with tea, like Matcha, black tea, Hojicha, etc. And some peanut butter chai, almond chai or some fruit preserve chai, but never a masala chai milk spread, so why not create one!

Being born in South America means you love dulce de leche, and although this spread’s flavor is nothing like it, the texture can be quite similar. I put dulce de leche on everything, so one of the things I tried and loved with this Masala Chai spread was drizzling it over a banana, it’s delicious! Another way I enjoyed it, was spreading over waffle cookies.

I think this would make a great cake filling too, so I need to try that. I’m thinking of a double chai layer cake… You can try this in a number of ways, some ideas are as a vanilla ice cream topping, in overnight oats, mixed with greek yogurt, as a filling for thumbprint cookies, etc.

Masala Chai Spread Recipe

Don’t have any Masala Chai at home? DIY!

You can use any Masala Chai blend, in loose-leaf or tea bag format, as long as it’s not a concentrate. I have lots of different Masala Chai blends (this is a great one) but I also like to make my own (and go heavy on the ginger!), but don’t worry if you don’t have any Masala Chai blend or teabags in hand because you can DIY it. I recommend you to start with this DIY recipe and then make changes to the spices and ratios, according to your personal preferences. When I make my own Masala Chai recipe I always like to use a CTC Assam black tea because it gives it a strong tea base. 

For this Masala Chai spread I used Rishi’s Masala Chai blend, which is one of the best blends I’ve tried. Another great Masala chai is Dupi’s Chai.

Most Masala Chai blends have black tea (usually Assam), cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper and cloves. Every recipe has different ratios of these and other additional spices might be added according to each recipe/brand.

Cooking Tips

Make sure you keep an eye on the pot at all times while you’re cooking. If you don’t stir constantly, the milk will start to burn on the edges and it will get darker and harder. You want to avoid this but if the milk burns a bit, keep stirring and don’t worry because you will strain the mixture at the end and these bits will be discarded.

Also, make sure you follow the boiling time precisely until the mixture has thickened and you see larger bubbles moving and popping slowly. We don’t want the spread to be too runny but keep in mind that it will get even thicker once cooled.

Masala Chai Spread Recipe

Yields 6oz
Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time40 mins
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American, Indian
Keyword: masala chai, spread, tea

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 2 tbsp Loose leaf masala chai or 3 teabags
  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup Sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  • In a pot, combine milk and masala chai in loose leaf & spices format or teabags and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to minimum and let steep for 7 minutes.
  • Strain leaves and spices or remove teabags. Bring milk back to the pot, add heavy cream, condensed milk and sugar and increase the heat a bit.
  • When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer whisking constantly. Watch the edges because the milk will start to burn and turn dark so keep whisking and scraping the edges. If it gets too thick around the edges, remove those bits from the pot. It is ok to see bubbles on the edges of the pot but keep stirring constantly.
  • The spread is ready after 25-30 minutes or so when it’s thickened, becomes darker and larger bubbles start to appear and move slowly allover. When you insert a spoon, the back will be coated and it will drip slowly like caramel.
  • Strain and pour into a glass container. Let cool completely before refrigerating.

Notes

Refrigerate immediately and use within 7-10 days.

I was mostly doing ‘western brewing’ and couldn’t find enough time to have many gong fu sessions. It always felt like too much of a time commitment... but since lockdown last March I started doing it every day.⁣
⁣
I end up drinking so much more tea! I fill a thermos with hot water and run through it in no time by steeping and re steeping tea using a gaiwan.⁣ So the answer to my question for me today, is by far my gaiwan!⁣

- A good quality Matcha. This is a make it or break it factor. ⁣
- Water at the right temperature: 175 F to prepare the Matcha base.⁣
- Last but never least, a great milk that froths well, tastes amazing and doesn’t have unnecessary additives. ⁣
⁣
Since I’m all about non-dairy milk, I experiment a lot and try different plant based alternatives. I wasn’t drinking too much almond milk because I found that it didn’t froth so well, until I found @mooala_koala . ⁣
⁣
Please look at that froth 🤩! (plus it is organic). Excited to find a great unsweetened almond milk that makes amazing lattes!⁣

I’m trying out a new Matcha today, Ujitawara Special by @naokimatcha . It is a blend from Tencha made of Uji Hikari and Samidori cultivars. It is a wonderfully sweet and mellow Matcha, with a smooth mouthfeel and balanced umami. Excellent to drink on its own.⁣
⁣
For those who specifically ask for good Matcha on @amazon , go for Naoki. It’s hard to find good Matcha there in between so much ‘Matcha noise’ and cheap quality ones.⁣
⁣
Where are you storing your open Matcha? I keep mine in the fridge, I find it stays fresh longer. Just make sure it is properly sealed
Have you ever tried tea from New Zealand? 🇳🇿 Have you ever tried tea from New Zealand? 🇳🇿⁣

This one is called Waikato Black tea and it’s from @zealongtea estate in Hamilton, NZ (I got it from @rareteacompany ). The climate there is very foggy, it has lots of rainfall, and ideal temperatures with enough sunshine for tea plants to thrive.⁣
⁣
It is a very memorable tea. It is full bodied, but smooth and it has some minerality, honey and yamminess to it too. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it! 😍 I’m enjoying it so much this Fall...⁣
⁣
Also, I was so intrigued about its production and location that I started looking into Zealong Estate. They have a beautiful website and they also produce Green tea,  Oolong and some herbals. The estate looks amazing and they offer tours too!

I’ve never been able to drink coffee nor I wanted to, but I would have loved to know Matcha before I did because I love the calm energy it provides (would have been so helpful during college years!).⁣
⁣
💡How to make Matcha? Start by sifting 1-2 scoops of Matcha (measured with a chashaku) or 1 tsp and add a bit of water at 175 F. Use your chasen (whisk) to incorporate all the Matcha powder and water using a circular motion. Then whisk vigorously doing ‘M’ or ‘W’ shapes to create froth. Finally, slowly add more water according to your thickness preference. Easy!⁣
⁣
If you drink coffee and Matcha how do both energy boosts compare?⁣
