chai tea
Cardamom-ginger infusion
Chai tea is a redundancy—chai already means tea in Hindi—but the phrase has become standard English for spiced tea made with black tea, milk, and aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
The drink originated in South Asia and spread globally through coffee shop culture: I'll have a chai tea latte.
