Cooking Tips

How do I make a cup of masala chai?

Watch the YouTube video featured on this page for our foolproof masala chai recipe.

Try it in your morning cup o’ joe.

Add a heaping spoonful of Chai Masala to your coffee grounds before brewing.

Don’t forget to strain.

While ground, the spices can create a little sediment, so strain for the smoothest cup of masala chai.

Make it your go-to baking blend.

Our Chai Masala does not contain tea, but its mix of warming spices like cinnamon, green cardamom, and ginger make it ideal for spicing up cakes, snickerdoodles, and other baked goods.

Frequently Asked Questions

black and yellow bee with light blue wings flying
When do the spices expire? How long do they last?

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

What makes Diaspora Spice Co.'s Chai Spice Blend different?

Our Chai Spice Blend contains only freshly harvested, single-origin spices sourced directly from our farm partners across South Asia, with no tea leaves, fillers, or sweeteners. That means you can build your own perfect cup of chai or add its warm, aromatic flavor to everything from baked goods to breakfast.

How can I use Diaspora Spice Co.'s Chai Spice Blend?

Because it doesn't contain tea, our Chai Spice Blend is incredibly versatile. Brew it with black tea and milk for homemade masala chai, or stir it into coffee, hot chocolate, oatmeal, pancakes, banana bread, cookies, muffins, granola, or smoothies. It also shines in ice cream, rice pudding, and other cozy desserts.

What is a Chai Spice blend made of?

Our chai spice mix combines green cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, black pepper, and cloves, the warming spices that form the backbone of many traditional masala chai recipes. The result is a balanced blend that's floral, warming, gently spicy, and deeply aromatic.

How do you use a chai spice blend?

Traditionally, chai seasoning is simmered with black tea, milk, and your preferred sweetener to make masala chai. Beyond tea, it can be added to coffee, oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, cakes, cookies, granola, roasted fruit, and smoothies. Anywhere you want warming spice, it'll feel right at home.

What are some chai spice recipes I can make with this blend?

Chai Spice Blend is delicious in masala chai, chai lattes, banana bread, muffins, pancakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, overnight oats, granola, rice pudding, and ice cream. It also pairs beautifully with apples, pears, chocolate, and other baked desserts, making it one of the most versatile blends in your spice cabinet.

What is the best way to store the spices?

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

Do you sell wholesale?

We do! You can search for our wholesalers using our store locator here. And if you are a wholesaler and don’t see yourself on the locator, please email wholesale@diasporaco.live and we will add you to this ASAP! Thank you!

Are all your spices organic?

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

Is there tea in this?

Our Chai Masala does not contain tea, making it ideal for your morning masala chai combined with black tea as well as baked goods and desserts.
