香料奶茶源於巴基斯坦，後來傳入印度及其他東南亞地方，原本是用印度特有的一種紅茶 (Assam Tea), 但後來給英式印度紅茶或錫蘭紅茶取替。
Chai Tea originally comes from Persian, then spread over India and other South East Asia countries. The original base tea is Assam Tea which comes from India, but now Britain India or Ceylon Tea is commonly used.
由於香料奶茶是用幾種不同香料連紅茶一起煮，所以亦對身體很有益處，例如 ：可以抗抑鬱、通血管、減低癌症風險、幫助消化等等作用。
Since herbs tea is cooked with different kind of spices, so it’s good for our health, such as Anti inflammatory, Fights cold and flu, improves digestion, Beat The Fatigue, Reduction in cancer risk, etc.

Since every family have their own taste of tea, so this is just my own taste of recipe too, also there’s no measurement, please taste your own one.

You can also use spices powder, but of course, the taste not as good as whole spices
2. 怕煲完清理麻煩，可以先把茶葉及香料放入茶袋內煲
If you don't want to messy up when washing, you can also put tea leaves and all spices into a tea bag for boiling.
3. 可以用煉奶代替牛奶及糖，那就不用加入煲內，只需要把煉奶先倒入杯內就可以了。
You can also use condensed milk instead of whole milk and sugar, if so, just add condensed milk in the mug and pour the tea in.
