AUTHENTIC & ARTISAN

Time: 3 mins 30 sec

Bringing out the best of any product takes time and passion; and brewing a chai is no different. Giving the tea some time to steep allows for the full extraction of flavour and brings out the subtleties of ginger and spices.

Method

1. Place 2 tablespoons (18-25g) into a chai pot.

2. Add hot water to cover the tea leaves (approx.. 50g)

3. Allow to steep for 2m 30sec

4. Add 1 cup (180-200g) milk of choice.

5. Steam milk to 75oc with minimal texture.

6. Strain into mug of choice.

7. Dust with cinnamon powder (optional)
