Pudina Chai, also known as Mint Tea, is a refreshing Indian beverage made with fresh mint leaves, black tea, milk, and a touch of sweetness. It combines the bold flavor of traditional chai with the cool, fragrant aroma of mint, creating a comforting drink with a fresh herbal finish. Enjoy it in the morning, during an afternoon break, or whenever you want a flavorful homemade tea.
Fresh mint leaves are gently simmered with water to release their natural fragrance before black tea leaves are added. Milk creates a smooth, creamy texture, while sugar balances the tea's slightly bold taste. A little crushed ginger or cardamom can also be included for extra warmth and aroma, making this mint-infused chai easy to customize.
Simple to prepare with everyday ingredients, Pudina Chai offers a pleasant twist on regular milk tea. Serve it hot with biscuits, toast, samosas, or your favorite homemade snacks for a relaxing tea-time treat.
