Tips:

  • Use high-quality tea leaves. The better the tea leaves, the better the chai will taste. Look for organic, fair-trade tea leaves that are free of pesticides and herbicides.
  • Grind the spices fresh. Grinding the spices just before you use them will release their full flavor. You can use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
  • Use whole milk or nut milk. Whole milk will give the chai a richer flavor, but you can also use nut milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
  • Sweeten the chai to your taste. You can use honey, sugar, or another sweetener to sweeten the chai to your liking.
  • Serve the chai hot or cold. Chai can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
