Ever wondered how the coffee shops make your favourite Chai Masala Latte? Well, you've come to the right place. We'll be sharing with you not only How to make a Chai Masala Latte, but will be showing you how to make your own home-made Chai Masala Blend - its super easy, and without any added unhealthy, or unnecessary ingredients.
Its Delicious, warming and comforting!
The tea blend takes just a few minutes to combine together, and once done, just store it in an airtight glass jar, and it's ready to use whenever you fancy it.
The spices can differ from recipe to recipe, and can easily be tinkered with to suit your taste. We use a blend of warming herbs;
Cinnamon
Ginger
Cloves
Cardamom
Nutmeg
In our opinion it smells like Christmas in a cup, minus the vanilla...
We can't always purchase loose black tea leaves in our supermarket, and so, we simply use our favourite black tea teabags. We snip them open, and empty out the tea leaves - easy!
For a little bit of added sweetness we like to use honey. However, you could use any sweetener you like. If you use sugar, you could add some to your chai masala latte powder mix.
This is a latte drink mix, which means you will need milk to make this drink. Dairy or non dairy milk is absolutely fine - whichever you prefer.
If we're feeling extra fancy then we will top it with some frothy milk, either way, we will always top it with a light dusting of cinnamon - delicious!
