Süssmund's Masala Chai listing describes a blend prepared in Vienna using Assam black tea and Himalayan spices. The stated ingredients are black tea, cardamom, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, anise, bay leaf, star anise, nutmeg and mace. This is a spiced black-tea product rather than a coffee or a caffeine-free herbal infusion.
The source recipe begins by bringing 500 milliliters of water and ten grams of the blend to a boil, then simmering for five minutes. Add 250 milliliters of the milk of your choice, bring back to a boil and simmer for another three minutes. Add sugar according to preference. Keep both heating stages in the record when scaling the method.
The catalogue suggests warm serving or a cooled version over ice, but gives no separate iced dilution formula. Actual milk choice and sweetener determine the finished drink's ingredients; the spice description does not establish dietary suitability. BeanScene has not independently tested the recipe or verified a current package's composition.
