Interesting. It’s similar to the use of the word “chai” in the US. It originally means tea, but in the US it is used to mean a specific blend/preparation (usually masala), so they say “I’ll have a chai tea”, which literally means “I’ll have a tea tea”.

I thought masala meant spice mix?

Spiced tea is a bit more specific than tea tea, but not much more
