Hi Emily,

Thanks for your question! You can absolutely steep the Chai Masala and Assam Tea in a strainer. I would start with 1 tsp of tea and 1 tbsp of Chai Masala, and then adjust according to your preference. I usually don’t bother taking the tea out at home if I’m being honest, but I think checking the strength at 3-5 minutes should work.

Warmly,

If I just want chai tea can I steep combined assam and masala in a cup with an infuser? If yes, How much would I use and how long to steep? Thank you

Greetings, please consider rethinking the proportions and method of using the chai masala. If you grind chai spices (like they do in India) to a fine consistency (anywhere between powder and coarse sand), you get the same wonderful taste results and only need 1/4 tsp to make a pint ’o chai. My guess is that you would need a minimum of 3 mins of simmering for full flavor in your cup. The coarser the grind, the lighter the chai flavor in your cup. Your chai masala will go a long way.
