So why is chai so good for you?
It’s all in the heavy blend of fragrant spices. They give a naturally sweet and delicious taste.
Black tea is loaded with polyphenols, is full of antioxidants and fights free radicals. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory star, as well as aiding digestion and improving circulation. Cardamon supports the immune system, and cinnamon has wonderful digestive properties and may help balance blood sugar. Cinnamon is also reputed to be an aphrodisiac!
It has also been suggested that chai has antibacterial and anti-cancer properties. Mostly thanks to the cardamon, cinnamon and ginger which are superfoods with high levels of antioxidants and phytochemicals with cancer-prevention properties.
All of those elements together create a winning cup of goodness that everyone should be drinking as it can improve your health, satisfy your taste buds and give you a wonderful sense of well-being. Oh, and a lot less caffeine too.
So replace one of your daily coffees with a chai – it can be just as convenient! Just pop a teaspoon or two of chai into a diffuser. Pour boiling water over the strainer, add a dash of milk if so desired, strain and serve!
