10 Tea Recipes That You Cannot Miss This Rainy Season

Serve it hot in an insulated tumbler and garnish it with some more Kesar on top.

2. Masala Tea

If you want to enjoy Masala Tea more frequently with less effort, then make a big batch of ground spice mix at once. In a mixer, prepare a fine powder using Clove, Cinnamon and Cardamom. Start your usual process of with leaves, milk and sugar. Just add a pinch of the masala while brewing it. Sit with some flavourful samosas and masala chai on a rainy day. Perfect!

3. Lemon Tea

If you are tired of the usual milky sugary tea, then just skip the milk and the chunks of sugar cubes. Start boiling some water in a saucepan, add some tea leaves, a little bit of Jaggery, and some lemon juice. Boil it nicely and once it leaves a sweet and tangy aroma, serve it!

4. Ginger Honey Tea

If you have a cold due to the seasonal change or you are just simply fond of the tinge of ginger, then try out this lovely recipe. Boil some Assam tea leaves in some water, and then add grated ginger. Leave it on a low flame for a couple of minutes before straining it. Add some honey as you serve.

5. Peppermint Tea

This Chai will give you the right amount of freshness if you do not like the sloppy monsoon weather. If you have a garden with some mint leaves, then you are all set to have this rich cup of goodness every single day. All that you need to do is, make some tea without milk and then add mint leaves while boiling. Strain it and enjoy! If you like the taste and the freshness it gives a lot, then make some more and keep it a tumbler. Make sure that the tumbler that you use maintains the temperature so that you can have your tea hot and minty at the same time!

6. Kahwa

If you are always dreamy-eyed about snow-capped mountains, beauty and some Kashmiri delicacies, then this Kashmiri Kahwa is sure to win your heart! You need Clove, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Rose Petals and Saffron for the starters. Crush the spices gently and add them in some boiling water along with some Green Tea and Rose Petals. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the flame and let it rest for a few minutes. Pour the Kahwa into small glasses and add a few strands of saffron and crushed almonds.

7. Irani Chai

In a saucepan, add all the spices – Cardamom, Star Anise, Cinnamon, Clove and Pepper. Bring it to a boil till it leaves a mild aroma, and then add some milk and cream. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, and then add the Assam chai leaves. Turn the flame low and let it rest for 3 minutes before you serve. This will be quite a hit if you want to have something different than usual. Add sugar as per your preference.

8. Chamomile Tea

If you really want to go the easy way and sit in your cosy corner with a book while it’s raining, then the best thing to do is to get some teabags.

You can also add some sugar!

9. Chaffee

This Chai is a relatively new concept. But, it is pretty much an acquired taste. If you are open to some fusion, then be ready to experiment with your senses. Just prepare your milk tea like you do every day. In the cup, cover it with some powdered coffee, and then pour the tea, and top it off with some condensed milk. You would be amazed by the overall taste. It might be a little confusing with all the sweetness of the condensed milk, bitterness of the coffee, and aroma, but it all adds up together.

10. Aam Adrak Chai

Boil some green mangoes till they are soft and mushy, and then add it into a blender along with some ginger. Blend it into a fine paste. Start preparing it by boiling some water and then add the mango ginger paste along with some more grated Ginger along with the leaves. Bring the tea to a boil and add some honey. Once it leaves a rich smell, pour it in cups and serve! This will actually be the best with some crunchy papadams and some country music!
