Chai Latte Instructions

To make a chai latte, simply combine 1-2 teaspoons of the DIY chai latte mix with hot milk.
You will get the best result if you whisk the milk thoroughly with the spices so the coconut sugar dissolves and the spices get stirred through the milk properly.
Suggestions:
(1) whisk chai powder with the milk in a saucepan over the stove, or
(2) dissolve the chai mix in a little hot water, and then add to a milk frother (e.g. Nespresso milk frother) together with cold milk and blend them together, or
(3) add chai powder and warmed milk to a blender and process until frothy.

Notes

*Please note all the spices in this recipe are dried, ground spices (i.e. powder form).

*The amount of coconut sugar in this recipe is a suggestion only. You can reduce or increase the amount, depending on how sweet you want to mix to be. You can also add an extra 2-3 tsp of cinnamon for some more sweetness, too.

*Optional add-ins: (1) add a generous pinch of finely ground black pepper for a spicier chai. You can also increase the cloves by 1 extra teaspoon. (2) 1-2 tbsp of turmeric for a golden chai. (3) 2-3 tbsp of cacao for a chocolate chai.
