Making Chai with Pre-Made Chai Mix
When possible, go with concentrate rather than powder, however be aware that some concentrates have enormous amounts of sugar.
Most Cafe's use this approach, including Starbucks. You can find Chai Syrup Concentrates made by Monin and Phoenix, and many others.
Making your own Concentrate
- Chai concentrate
- Place 18 tsp of chai tea into side infuser of a 1.5 litre jug, fill the jug with boiling water Infuse for approx. 5-6 mins remove the side infuser and allow to cool. Refrigerate overnight or use concentrate straight away for a delicious chai latte The concentrate will darken overnight to produce a stronger and deeper flavour
- Chai latte
- Pour 1/3 cup of concentrate in glass. Warm and froth soy/normal milk in a jug (2/3 of a cup) and add to the glass. You can add one teaspoon of honey to sweeten if desired. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Iced Chai
- same as above, but substitute warm milk for cold. serve with ice.
