#FirstImpressions Of Masala Monk’s Ammiji’s Chai Masala For Digestion
Chai masalas can either lift your chai to heights of flavor or it can completely make your chai taste disgusting! Luckily, Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala belongs to the former category.
There are a lot of things we loved about Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala, let’s take a look:
Texture: We liked that Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala is roughly ground. It is not a fine powder, unlike a few chai masalas out there. This gives it a nice homemade feel, and that’s what the brand promises. You can see tiny bits of saunf, pipli and even cinnamon/acacia. (The packaging only mentions ginger, pipli and saunf, though we could taste a few other spices too)
Aroma: Saunf is the dominant aroma here, though you can also get hints of pungent pipli. Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala has a very refreshing and rich aroma.
Taste: And now for the taste of Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala. With texture and aroma already sorted, what remained for us to check out was the flavor of the masala. We tried Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala for over 10 days, by adding it to a regular cup of doodh-wali chai. On some days we added we added a pinch at the point of adding sugar and tea leaves to boiling water. On other days, we added it right at the end, just before the tea would boil. In both cases, the result was a cup of really delicious masala-chai. Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala adds a wonderful balance of heat and flavor to the chai, making it tastier. And it is also just the right amount of heat you need for the cooler days approaching.
The best chai masalas are the ones that mix so well with your regular chai that after a few days, it feels like your chai no longer tastes good without the masala. Ammiji’s Homemade Chai Masala is a bit like. You are likely to start enjoying your morning tea even more with this.
