Where these numbers come from
- Rishi Masala Chai, black tea (one sachet)Our estimate
Per sachet: USDA's per-100 g brewed black tea × 237 g, the 8 fl oz cup Rishi brews from one 3 g sachet — about 47 mg of caffeine and 2 kcal. The sachet is black tea with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper and clove, steeped 5 minutes, and Rishi publishes no milligram figure: it rates it "High" on its 0–100 mg-per-8 oz scale (https://www.rishi-tea.com/products/organic-masala-chai-teabag-sachets). So this is an estimate: the low end is our usual quarter-either-way brewing spread, the high end is the top of Rishi's scale.
- Whole milkUSDA reference values
Calculated from this recipe's ingredients and amounts (One sachet steeped 5 minutes in 4 fl oz of water at 200°F, cooled over ice and topped with 4 fl oz of cold milk). Your drink will vary with the exact measures, brands and brew. Not a lab analysis, and not medical advice.
