The shahi chai has been catching my eyes for long time from the tea menu as I found chilli chai. But the consistency was kind of weird for me to try as it was looking as if it had thickening agent. I wasn’t sure about the recipe as I have not tasted it. So settled with this saffron chai to give it a try. It sure is a mild variation to the masala chai but with an exotic touch.

You can skip any ingredient other than saffron and give it a try according to your convenience, no hard and fast rules. Keep soaked saffron ready in your fridge and you are ready to go anytime with this chai. More you soak, more flavorful the chai is. Do give it a try to treat your family or have a me time with this special chai.
