Chai Latte
Chai means tea in the Hindi language and refers to the traditional milky tea drink based on black tea and spices. The Chai spices consist of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper and all spice. The tea is strongly sweetened so that you get a warming sweet and spicy tea drink, perfect for colder seasons.
Because the spices blend well together you can now find Chai-seasoning in stores and super markets as powder, Chai-syrups and Chai-flavoured black tea. There are also Chai-flavoured powdered drinks available containing milk powder that you just mix with hot water.
Chai Latte and Dirty Chai Latte:
If you order a Chai Latte in a café you'll most likely get a milky beverage made of Chai-flavoured syrup and frothed milk.
There is also a coffee based version available where you add a shot of espresso to a glass, add Chai-flavoured syrup and top with warm frothed milk. This version is called "Dirty Chai Latte".
How to make a traditional Chai beverage:
You'll need:
- 1 dl water
- 2 dl milk of your choice
- Black tea (loose tea leaves or in a tea bag)
- 1 cinnamon stick or 0,5 tsp cinnamon powder
- 0,5 tsp cardamom
- 0,5 tsp cloves
- A pinch of black pepper
- Coconut sugar, honey or other sweetener such as syrup
Bring the water and milk to a boil in a sauce pan. Add the tea and let brew for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea and add the mentioned spices to the tea. Let simmer for a few minutes while stirring until the spices have given the brew a good aroma. Por the brew in a latte glass through a sieve. You can add some frothed milk on top.
