Homemade Crockpot Chai Tea Recipe

Chai means tea in Indian, so when we say chai tea we are saying “tea tea” but many people don’t realize this so in some instances in this post I will still refer to it as “chai tea.” It’s more appropriate to refer to it as “masala chai.”

Not only is masala chai delicious, but when you simmer your own at home using simple, whole spices from your kitchen, you’ll be delivering important nutrients to help the body heal when you are feeling ill by making this Crockpot Chai Tea Recipe.

Let’s explore the healing benefits of some common, kitchen spices:

Cinnamon is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, stimulating, helps the body process sugar more efficiently, and contains many more beneficial properties. Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants. It helps your body fight infections and repair tissue damage and it has been shown to effectively treat respiratory tract infections.

Clove is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antiviral, and analgesic which means it relieves pain, anti-oxidant, and benefits the body in many other ways like with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Black pepper is anti-inflammatory and helps maintain a healthy blood sugar, may lower cholesterol, and is known to boost the efficacy of other spices.

Cardamom is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, diuretic, and aids digestion. Research shows that cardamom extracts and essential oils have compounds that fight several common strains of bacteria. The aromatic spice also contains vitamin C and other essential nutrients.

Ginger is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-fungal, anti-viral, eases digestion, lowers blood sugar, eases nausea, and much more.

Nutmeg is anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, mood-boosting, lowers blood sugar, and offers other healing benefits. Studies show that nutmeg has antibacterial effects against potentially harmful bacteria, including E.coli and Streptococcus mutans. It also contains the antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals that cause stress that in turn contributes to illness.

Use Chai Spice Mixture as Immune Booster

To use the spice liquid as an immune booster in recipes, keep the black tea, milk and honey out of your brew. Instead, save the liquid in a jar and refrigerate for individual use.

Add your chai brew to any of the following, to promote good health:

• Coffee
• Tea
• Milk: cold or warm
• Yogurt smoothies
• Desserts, such as baked apples, stewed pears or warm peaches
