Can you clarify things.Thanks, Ruthie. . : A nswer: Dear Ruthie, A good place to start is with the confusing terminol- ogy. In many parts of the world (principally, Asia and the Middle East) "char is the word for tea. So, "chai tea," in many regions, literally (and redundantly) means, "tea tea." In Southeast Asia, chai is almost as popular as coffee. In most English-speaking countries (America in- cluded), "chai tea" more often refers to something / • more accurately know \ as "masala chai," which, (. /,,, . translated from the • ' original Hindi and Chinese languages, , , , s I , means (are you ready?) "spiced tea." In North America, a typical coffeehouse recipe consists of black tea steeped in a boiled/ simmered mixture of nutmeg, ground cloves, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, water, and regular milk. Other recipes add/ substitute coriander seeds, fennel, star anise, soy milk, and other ingredients. Believed by some to have healing properties, preparing chai tea at home for family and friends can be a wonderfully aromatic way to welcome the holidays. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Happy Thanksgiving!
