History of Chai Tea
Unlike many milky teas, which are brewed in water with milk later added, traditional masala chai is often brewed directly in the milk. In many Eurasian languages, chai or cha is the word for tea. This comes from the Persian چای chay, which originated from the Chinese word for tea 茶 chá.
