Chai/ tea Masala powder

Here comes my fav Chai masala/ Masala tea powder...

 Chai masala powder adds a unique taste & aroma to the tea. It has lots of health benefits too due to presence of so many spices.  This is very easy to make as all the ingredients are mostly available in your kitchen & you can keep it in a air tight container for long time. You just hav to add ½ tsp while making the tea. You can use your own choice of spices but friends here is my secret chai masala powder.
