Fun Fact!

Chai (pronounced as a single syllable and rhymes with `pie') is simply another word for `tea' that is used in Europe and Asia. In North America, the word chai is synonomous with what is actual a spiced milk tea from India called Chai masala. This tea is made from black tea, milk, a sweetener and a combination of spices that vary depending on which region of India you live.
