Indian Ginger Chai is every day masala chai in many Indian households. The sharp and appetizing taste of ginger pair great with strong black tea. Ginger has lots of health benefits and above all it is great for our digestive health. Not only that ginger helps in digestion and reduces bloating and is also a very good natural healer.

Indian Ginger Chai
In Indian cooking, ginger is added as a spice in almost all curries. Not just for flavor but also for helping digest the strong curries. When not added to the curries, often you will find Indians sipping ginger chai in breakfast as a kadak (strong) morning tea or after a heavy meal to aid in digestion.

Today, I made ginger chai to accompany buckwheat flour crepes. If you do not like milk in black tea, you can skip milk and use same black tea with some lemon to enjoy homemade lemon-ginger tea. Simple, easy and with far less calories than ginger-lemon chai sold in stores.

Make some ginger chai today and enjoy health 1 cup at a time!!
