What Kind of Tea Leaves Should I Use?

You can use any good quality tea leaves you have at hand- Assam black tea is a great choice. If you don’t have loose tea leaves, you can also choose to use 2 tea bags instead. Just drop the tea bags into the water while it is still simmering and allow it to boil for 2 minutes before you remove. 

Can I Use Non Dairy Milk For this Recipe?

You sure can! Oat milk and almond milk are two great choices to consider if you’re looking for a non-dairy milk choice.Top view of lemongrass ginger chai

Tips & Tricks to Make the Lemongrass Ginger Chai

While brewing this tea is super easy, you might want to keep these little tips and tricks handy. 

  • While this tea tastes best with jaggery as the sweetener, you can stick to using white sugar if that’s what you have at hand. Brown sugar is another great choice. 
  • The flavor of lemongrass in tea is an acquired taste, especially if you’re not someone who has lemon tea often. Consider adding a little to begin with, and if you like how it has turned out, you can always add in some more lemongrass. 
  • Consider using full fat milk for this recipe- it is what lends the tea its rich and creamy flavor that goes perfectly well with the citrusy and earthy flavors of the lemongrass and the ginger. 
  • If you don’t have the tea masala, you can add a single cardamom or a pinch of cardamom powder into the lemongrass ginger chai to elevate its flavors. 
  • Don’t have fresh ginger? You can also consider using some ginger powder instead. 
  • You can also choose to skip adding the milk entirely, and enjoy the tea without the milk- it’ll still taste great.

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

This flavorful and delicious lemongrass ginger chai tastes best when served piping hot with some biscuits or cookies on the side, to make it a perfect evening snack. If you’re having this for breakfast, you can team it up with some poha, eggs or practically any other classic breakfast choice.
