What is chai?
Chai is a mix of multiple different spices (Click here to see exactly what’s in it). It originated in India and it’s a perfect balance of different spices!
Do I need any special equipment to make this?
Having a donut tin makes it a lot easier, but there are some online hacks you can find to get around this. One involved forming a donut tin with a muffin tin and tin foil.
