STOVE
The traditional method for making chai is using a chai pot on the stove. This is an easy method for making a delicious brew of What the Chai. Once you have done this a few times you will find the process an enjoyable ritual in your day. Every morning I make a fresh pot of What the Chai and use a thermal drink bottle and enjoy hot chai all morning. The measurements below are based on using 60gm (1/4 cup) of What the Chai per 1 litre of liquid. You will find the perfect amount of chai to use. If you want a bit more of a spicy hit, then you may like to add a little bit more chai. Alternatively, you can use less chai for more a mild flavour. Enjoy!
Method
For a single serve of What the Chai add the following to a heavy based saucepan or stove chai pot:
2-3 tsps (15-20g) What the Chai
250ml milk
60ml water
Place all ingredients in saucepan and gently heat for 7-10 mins. Don't let it simmer or boil. This may make the spices bitter.
The perfect brewing temperature is 60-65 degrees. This allows the delicious chai flavour to infuse into the milk.
Strain into your favourite mug. Take a moment to savour your What the Chai moment and enjoy!
STEAMER WAND
Make a cafe style What the Chai latte by using a steam wand. (A steam wand is the milk frothing wand on the side of coffee machines).
Use a medium or large milk frothing jug. Add What the Chai and milk to the jug.
2-3 tsps (15-20g) What the Chai
280 - 300ml milk
Use steam wand to heat and froth milk.
Let sit for 5 mins.
Use a strainer and pour into your fancy cafe latte cup and enjoy! ** Have you seen our Fire Cups? These have been custom made for What the Chai lattes! **
