Chai is a way of life in India

「後來，一杯中式飲品送上來給我喝，這是種我從來沒嚐過的東西。」-這是茶自1610年傳入歐洲後，英格蘭最早的飲茶紀錄，出現於塞繆爾·皮普斯日記中。
在茶中加入牛奶的飲茶方式最早也是出現於歐洲的茶史中。這種獨特的喝法很快地在歐洲傳開且盛行於世界各地，連當時仍受英國殖民的印度也慢慢的將英國的飲茶方式與文化融入生活中，讓奶茶成為日常的一部分並延續至今。
直到1947年獨立後，印度才發明自己的飲茶口味。曾擁有全世界最多的肉桂、綠荳蔻 、丁香、薑黃、胡椒等極富價值的香料，印度將辛香料發揮的淋漓盡致，不僅使用於各種料理、點心，零嘴，更於茶中添加各種辛香料，讓此種出眾且深刻的飲品馬上成為印度的代表作之一，即所謂的印度香料奶茶（masala chai）。奶茶在經過添磚加瓦後，有養身保健、消除疲勞的辛香料作為穩固的基石，讓這杯茶得以在經過千年歷史的考驗後，在世道艱難的此時此刻，我們依舊能找到心靈的一方淨土。
