Organic Masala Chai Tea Recipe: Clementine Cake

This brilliant chai tea recipe – a clementine cake – was inspired by an original from Nigella Lawson, but takes the initiative of adding ground AVANTCHA Organic Masala Chai Tea to the ingredients to add a sweet, spicy and aromatic note. You could also try using our Majestic Earl Grey, or Oriental Moments for the same reason. Visit our ‘How Versatile is Tea?‘ article for more ways to use up old tea.
