Chai tea

Chai tea is a traditional infusion originating from India, which combines a black tea base with a blend of aromatic spices and herbs. Its name comes from the Hindi term "chai," which simply means "tea." This preparation has gained worldwide popularity thanks to its intense and spicy flavor, ideal for accompanying moments of relaxation and also for complementing various culinary recipes.

Chai tea usually contains spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and black pepper, which not only provide a characteristic aroma and flavor but also offer health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties.

In the culinary field, chai tea is used not only as a beverage but also as an ingredient in desserts, smoothies, and dishes that take advantage of its unique flavor blend. Its versatility has made it an essential element in many contemporary recipes seeking an exotic and spicy touch.

In different regions of Latin America, chai tea may be known simply as spiced tea or tea with spices, although the term "chai tea" is widely recognized thanks to global cultural and culinary influence.
