Did I take an easy route out? Well yes!
But then have I ever posted the masala chai ? No !!
Is this recipe same as Indian masala chai? Not really!!!
What's different? - the masalas...
Well, across africa tea is a very popular beverage...but from what I read about Kenya....they love their tea with plenty of spices...this recipe is popular across all the countries in East Africa and apparently called as east african chai.
