It is made by brewing tea leaves with a mixture of spices and herbs, such as ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper.

One of the reasons chai is popular is because of its taste. The combination of tea leaves and spices creates a unique and complex flavor that many people find appealing. Additionally, many of the spices used in chai have been traditionally used for their health benefits in Ayurvedic medicine.

Another reason for the popularity of chai is that it is a relatively affordable beverage, it can be made at home with easily available ingredients and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and cultures.
