masala chai
Masala chai (; (ヒンディー語:मसाला चाय), literally "mixed-spice tea"; ; (ネパール語:मसलेदार चिया); (ベンガル語:মসলা চা)) is a flavoured tea beverage made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs. Originating in India,〔http://www.seattleweekly.com/home/949624-129/chai-tea-spice-spicy-coffee-india〕〔http://chaipilgrimage.com/blogs/journal/8432269-origin-of-masala-chai〕〔http://coffeetea.about.com/od/historyculture/a/MasalaChaiHistory.htm〕 the beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and tea houses. Although traditionally prepared by a decoction of green cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, ground ginger, and black peppercorn together with black tea leaves, retail versions include tea bags for infusion, instant powdered mixtures, and concentrates. In some places the term "chai," alone, can refer to the beverage. ==Etymology and terminology==
(詳細はEurasian languages, ''chai'' or ''cha'' is the word for ''tea''. This comes from the Persian چای ''chay'', which originated from the Chinese word for tea 茶 ''chá''. (The English word ''tea'', on the other hand, comes from the Teochew dialect of Chinese ''teeh''.) In English, this spiced tea is commonly referred to as ''masala chai'' or simply ''chai'',〔(Chai - Definition at Merriam-Webster Dictionary )〕 even though the term refers to tea in general in the origin language. Numerous United States coffee houses use the term chai latte or chai tea latte for their version to indicate that the steamed milk, much like a regular cafè latte, is mixed with a spiced tea concentrate instead of espresso. By 1994 the term had gained currency on the U.S. coffeehouse scene.〔(Define Chai latte at Dictionary.com )〕 In the Middle East, particularly in the Arab countries surrounding the Persian Gulf where it's highly popular, the drink is commonly called ‘karak chai’ (lit. ''strong tea'') by the locals.
