Ingredients
1. Milk We prefer full-fat organic whole milk. Our favorites are Straus Milk and Alexandre Farms, but you can use any whole milk that’s high quality.
2. Water Regardless of the quantity of chai you make (1 cup, 2 cups, 16 cups), you will only need one cup of water. As the milk boils and the chai steeps, this water will evaporate, leaving you with a really rich cup of chai.
3. Chai We’ve found that 1 tbsp of chai blend per cup is the perfect amount, making it not too bitter or too weak.
4. Sweetener We prefer white cane sugar as that’s what’s typically used back home in Pakistan, but you can use any kind of sweetener you prefer - jaggery, honey, stevia, or completely sugar-free. This is your cup!
FAQ
what dairy-free milk can I use?
what dairy-free milk can I use?
While you can use any dairy-free milk you like, we prefer oat milk full-fat. The creamy, rich texture balances out the tea without competing for flavor, but you can choose any alternative milk with some fat. With oat milk, we suggest using ⅔ of the chai blend than is written on the bag
