A few years ago we had a long weekend in the New Forest, and on the Sunday night went out to an Indian restaurant. Neither of us fancied alcohol, so we asked for a tea. There wasn't tea on the menu, but the waiter obliged by making us a black tea with cinnamon sticks and some other spices. We loved it, and asked for the recipe. We bought some cinnamon sticks, and made it ourselves a couple of times when we got home, but then stopped doing it - as you do. So we were well pleased when Twinings brought out Chai. OK, it's not as good as making it fresh, but it's a handy substitute, and it does have a pleasant cinnamon flavour.
The name "Chai" simply means tea. This is not just tea, it's a spiced tea - one name for that is masala chai: masala meaning blended spices.
Score: 5
