Chai Teas

Chai stands out due to its bold combination of tea and warming spices. Unlike herbal or green teas, chai is often brewed with black tea, giving it a rich base that complements its signature spice blend. It’s also commonly prepared with milk, creating a creamy and indulgent drink.

To brew chai tea, steep the tea leaves or blend in hot water for 3-5 minutes. For a traditional masala chai, simmer the tea with milk and sweetener for a deeper, creamier infusion. You can also experiment with brewing times to adjust the strength and spice intensity.

Yes, most chai teas contain caffeine, as they are typically made with black tea. However, caffeine levels can vary depending on the blend. For a caffeine-free alternative, try herbal chai blends made with rooibos or spices alone.

Chai is incredibly versatile! You can adjust the spice intensity by adding extra cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom. Swap dairy for oat or almond milk for a plant-based option. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup, or vanilla to enhance the flavors even further.
