Chai tea is a type of tea that is made from a blend of black tea, spices, and milk. It originated in India and has been enjoyed for centuries as a traditional beverage.

The exact history of chai tea is somewhat disputed, but it is believed to have originated in the Indian subcontinent thousands of years ago. According to some sources, chai tea was originally made with a mixture of local spices and herbs, which were believed to have medicinal properties. It was consumed by people of all classes and was often served to guests as a symbol of hospitality.

Over time, the recipe for chai tea evolved to include black tea, which was introduced to India by the British in the 19th century. The addition of black tea to the traditional chai recipe helped to make the beverage more widely available and popular, and it eventually became a staple in many households throughout India.
