## Notes

* Firstly, I have made a masala chai premix, however, you can skip the spices and make a plain one.

* Also, adjust the concentration and sweetness of chai to your choice.

* Additionally, you can also add tulsi leaves to make herbal masala chai.

* Finally, **Chai Premix Recipe** is best when stored in an airtight container.
