Comments: 

Ayurvedic Chai is building as well as cleansing. This ratio of herbs will be balancing for Vata dosha. (Vats can imbalance with stressful times). The spices are used to scrape toxins that cause sluggishness from the lymphatic system.
The milk and raw sugar are used for their anabolic action, helping to build good quality tissue. 

When the milk is added immediately after the tea, it binds the tannins from releasing into the chai, reducing the drying and agitating impact of caffeine. The result is a balancing and energising beverage.
