Mint Tea can be made with or without milk. The Indian version of this tea is made by adding milk ( just like Adrak Chai), and my recipe will make you the best cup of mint chai with milk at home. This jaggery mint tea is light and aromatic and is a perfect beverage to sip on cold winter or monsoon days. It is also great to sip after a heavy meal as it avoids heartburn and bloating. It is vegetarian and gluten-free and can be easily made vegan. Here are some more tea recipes that you may like: Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte, Adrak Wali Chai, Lemon Tea, and Kashmiri Tea Kahwa. You must also try my Herbal Saffron Tea, Indian Masala Chai, Tandoori Chai, and Strawberry Tea. Tea – Use any black tea leaves (chai patti) you have at home. You can choose to use loose tea leaves or tea bags. Ginger – Fresh ginger complements the refreshing flavor of mint leaves. Milk – I prefer using whole milk (full-fat milk) for a creamier chai. You can replace it with skim or low-fat milk if you wish to. For a vegan chai, you can also use plant-based milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, etc. Jaggery – This chai is sweetened using powdered jaggery. The flavor of jaggery, ginger, and mint leaves go very well together. You can replace jaggery with white granulated white sugar, brown sugar, or sugar-free substitutes like monk fruit or stevia. If using jaggery, always use dark brown organic jaggery. Light-colored jaggery has chemicals added to it to lighten the color. It might look good, but it is not good for the body. Chai Masala – You can use store-bought chai masala or make a batch using my homemade Chai Masala Powder recipe. Homemade chai masala is better than store-bought and much more economical.
Pour the tea into serving cups and serve hot. Note – You can also strain the tea directly in serving cups and add jaggery into the cups themselves.
