Kadak Masala Chai

One pyramid bag steeped for four minutes gave me that proper kadak kick without turning bitter, and the spice mix actually tastes like real cardamom and ginger instead of the dusty stuff. Been drinking it every morning this week.

I usually need two tea bags for a strong cup but one of these is plenty — the spice hits right away and the black tea stays bold even after a splash of milk. Genuinely the closest thing to proper kadak chai I've made at home.

The pyramid bags make this dangerously easy to brew at my desk, and the spice kick is exactly what I crave on a cold afternoon. One cup and I'm properly warmed up, the boldness hits just right.
