HOMEMADE CHAI TEA TWO WAYS
And now it’s time to require a quick remission from all things pumpkin spice to start out brewing up all things chai spiced.
(I’m getting to got to try real hard to urge through this complete post without spelling chai like chair.)
First up: we’re starting with this homemade chai tea
because
a. it’s early
b. i used to be out last night
c. coffee is important right about now
d. all of the above
You ready?
Don’t get me wrong – I’m still fully aboard the pumpkin spice train. It’s only mid October and I’ve got a bottomless pit of a stomach that not yet bored of pumpkin spice. I’m just ready for something new and I’ve always been a sucker for those sweet & spicy flavor blends.
It wasn’t until my brief stint performing at Starbucks years back that I became conversant in chai tea lattes. i attempted one among these my very first day and was sold. It probably helped that it had been also mid October why back when and this happens to be one among the foremost comforting drinks ever. It’s precisely the sort of thing you would like to possess after starting a replacement job. Comforting. Warm. Spicy.
HOMEMADE CHAI LATTE – 2 WAYS
Regular chai teas lattes are literally non caffeinated – just frothed milk and infused tea. Dirty chai tea lattes are all that with added shots of espresso. counting on my mood I’ll take this dirty or clean – so I include two ways to form this reception . The dirty version involves a french press, the clean version just requires a touch stove top time to urge your milk simmering.
Instead of hand mixing a couple of spices together i made a decision to choose tea bags here to urge that chai infused flavor. Sometimes once I make drinks using actual spices things can get a touch too gloopy at rock bottom of the cup and it’s not pretty.
If you would like to urge real proper – Starbucks uses Tazo Organic Chai tea bags, but you'll also find chai tea bags easily in most supermarkets.
Whichever why you create this you’ll love it! Top it off with a spoonful of coconut topping , or even sprinkle on a touch of cinnamon for final touch.

3 cups unsweetened dairy free milk, (coconut, almond, rice, etc)
1 tablespoons 1 tablespoons sweetener like maple for low FODMAP, honey, agave, coconut nectar etc, (more to taste)

4. Once the milk starts to boil, take it off the warmth and pour it into your french press.
5. Stir the contents well, then add the highest of the french press and let steep for 5-7 minutes.
6. Press the handle down until the liquid is separated from the dregs and tea and pour your latte into mugs and drink up!
