Masala Chai - Outside India

Outside India

As the popularity of masala chai has spread around the world, its nature has changed in various ways beyond the redundant terminology noted above.

Its original form remains available in restaurants that serve South Asian cuisine, but outside those venues, many Westerners are just as likely to consume their "chai" as a slushy iced beverage resembling a milkshake as to drink it as hot spiced tea. Chai flavouring is also used in baked goods such as pumpkin pies, biscuits or butter tarts.
