This week on Half Past Chai, we’re asking the big question: what actually is chai, and why is it so hard to get it right in America? We’re sitting down with the founders of Malwa Chai to talk about growing up with real chai, what they kept (and ditched) from the traditional recipes, and how they’re making it easier than ever to brew an authentic cup at home.

Drop into the comments and tell us: which question was your favorite? 

Then head to our site and submit your own for a future episode we love keeping this podcast a two-way conversation 💛 https://www.halfpastchai.com/

Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛
