Product Information

The correct term for the Indian tea blend is masala chai. The word masalarefers to a blend of spices used in cooking. Just like the word curry, a Westernized reduction of a complex blend of Indian spices, the American concept of chai diminishes a rich Indian cultural tradition. A more appropriate term here is iced chai latte. How to make an iced chai latte Chai as the Western world knows it has been grown in India for many thousands of years. The word chai originates from the Hindustani word for all and any tea, which has grown in the Assam region for millennia. Sweetener: I love to use maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. But you can go with any others such as honey, agave, or even coconut sugar. To get more flavor out of your whole spices, you can lightly roast them in the oven for a bit before grinding them into a powder. Try and buy spices that have an extended expiry date so that you can be sure they are fresh and will last longer. He says that while “the proportions in terms of warm milk to foam are the same”, the chai latte isn’t a “true” latte, because it contains no espresso.

But in general, loose leaf teas will produce a much more full-bodied tea. Just be sure to look for smaller leaves that are partially broken. They’ll infuse much easier when simmering in the pot. Somebody might be wondering what the difference between a chai latte and dirty chai is. A chai latte is a type of tea drink containing cinnamon, cardamon, clove, and ginger. Dirty chai is like a chai latte with the addition of espresso. The addition of coffee to the drink gives it a stronger flavour than a regular chai latte. If you cannot choose which to have, a cup of chai latte or coffee, then dirty chai may be the best option. As a coffee lover myself, this drink is a great invention! Final Thoughts Oat milk. It has a great creamy texture and neutral flavor! One of our favorites for lattes. See also our Vegan Chai Latte.Strain: Strain the concentrate into a jar. It makes 4 servings, so you can refrigerate until you’re ready to drink! Make the tea concentrate (30 minutes): Steep the tea bags, chai spices and maple syrup for 30 minutes. Milk: For a milkier base (that’s also good for frothing), use whole milk or creamier non-dairy milks such as oat milk or cashew milk. But, any non-dairy milk will work as well. I am sure that chai lattes will continue to rise in popularity, and I hope that more coffee shops start creating their own recipes.” However, one area of concern about the chai latte is the amount of sugar it contains on average. Many coffee shops, especially chains, make them with a lot of sugar or use a syrup that has a high sugar level.

Heat the milk and steep the tea. Let the milk warm up in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it simmers, turn it off and add in the tea bags for 4 to 5 minutes. Then remove the tea bags. Today, more than 800,000 tonnes of tea are consumed in India every year. It is estimated that 30 cups of chai are consumed for every cup of coffee. Furthermore, on average, two cups of chai are drunk per person every single day. Across India, chai is prepared differently. It’s common to see it enjoyed with buffalo milk, as the cow is sacred in Hinduism. Star anise: This gives Chai a deep licorice flavor with a sweet note; it has a more robust spicy flavor and adds more sweetness to this drink. There are a few spices that are usually used that form the foundation of the Chai flavor, although you don’t have to use all of them. Strain the tea into four mugs or heat-proof glasses, then pour in the milk on top. Stir before finishing with the milk foam and a pinch of cinnamon.

Whole Cloves: Something I don’t use very often. In the fall, add to boiling water to make your house smell amazing. If you don’t have whole cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves will also work. Zee is the owner of Chai Coffee Co. in Yucaipa, California. She tells me that they use a range of chais. For the chai latte, she says they “freshly steep” their chai for each cup, and add “homemade vanilla syrup” as well as the “customer’s milk of choice”. Pro tip– I prefer to do this on the stovetop, but you can also do this in a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat it until it is hot and bubbling. Although Arkadia Chai Tea contains sugar, there is a great variety of natural spices used and it can be easily made hot or ice by adding wate or milk and stir. How could it be much easier than this?
