I’ve only drank Masala chai, a handful of times, but every time I drank it, it always brought me a sense of bliss. With every sip I could taste the delicate whole spices and the warmth they bring, encompasses all my senses. From the first time I tasted Masala chai, I have wondered “how would it taste as a cake?”
