If you have any friends who are Indian, most do not use water they only use milk and they crush their spices rather than use ground spices because the ground spices float around in the drink where as the whole crushed enfuse the milk much better and they are easier to strain out of the drink. Typical spices used are cardamom pods, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, pepper corns and a piece of fresh ginger which you crush with a mortar and pestle. Whole milk is best to use because it makes the drink creamy. Put all the spices in the milk and heat on the stove until boiling point add 1.5t per cup of tea (Red Label is usually the tea used in an Indian household) and sugar into the milk and simmer until the tea is infused and the sugar is dissolved. Strain into a cup or cups and enjoy.
Yess! But we also do half milk + half water, that way the tea isn't too heavy/rich. So we just add water and milk to a pot and then add the spices and loose tea, cook on low for 10-15 minutes. It's also not necessary to use all these spices, I personally only like cardamom so I only add a crushed cardamom pod.
People looking up this video are looking for a typical American coffee house chai latte. It’s a markedly different thing from masala chai, which is what you described. Also, you’re wrong on chai using only milk. Bringing the tea powder and sugar/jaggery to a boil in a quarter cup of water along with freshly ground spices is a typical way of making chai. You can even go half/half. Chai is chai. Let’s not be pretentious about it.
I made this today, and it's delicious!! I really like tea, but it always seemed so bland because it was steeped in water. Seasoning the water and adding (vegan) milk really helps😊
I very much appreciate recipe videos that are straight to the point. Less confusion, less "hanging out", more informative. Great job and can't wait to try your recipe.
It's just called Chai. I don't know why people call it Chai Tea Latte. Latte is from Caffelatte which means Milk Coffee. So calling it chai tea latte translates to Tea Tea Milk.
I made this and it is really delicious. Some people are complaining that it’s not easy. It’s about 2 minutes of active work total. It’s boiling water. Literally the easiest thing you can do. Once you have the chai syrup, you can even add it to milk and microwave it if you don’t care for a frothy top. You can also make larger batches of the syrup so you have enough to last a while, and it’s so easy to add some syrup to some milk and microwave it until a it hot.
here’s how to make REAL chai, from an indian. it’s even simpler: (for 2 servings) bring a cup (not the measurement kind of cup, the cup/mug you’ll drink the chai out of) of water to a boil, then put two teaspoons of chai patti (tea leaves) and let it boil for another two minutes or so. it doesn’t have to be a vigourous boil. then add a little less than a cup of milk (or less of you prefer it darker) to the water. let it continue to boil until it starts to rise and turn the heat to the lowest setting before it overflows out of the pot. keep it on the lowest heat setting for another minute or two, adding the desired amount of sugar/honey/sweetener. you’re welcome! it has enough milk traditionally to be considered a latte, in my opinion
What a great recipe. I made this today and I’m quite impressed with the flavor and how simple it was to make. I like my chai a bit spicy so next time I’ll add a few peppercorns to the boil. Thanks for sharing.
Omg this is masala tea. Literally. I've always wondered what the heck chai tea was and I watch this and am shook. Indians invented this thing and it's a staple Indian tea for generations. 🤦🏽♀️
Guys, she knows it’s not “chai tea latte” which is why if you actually listen to the video, you can hear her say chai latte. The reason why she names it that is because that’s what most people know it by thanks to Starbucks!
Any Indians here? . . . For anyone who really wants to make this, it's way easier than what is shown in the video. Add tea, sugar, water and milk (optional cinnamon, ginger). Heat it and you're done!
I just tried this and the paper ends of the teabags catched fire so i flicked them into the tea out of reflex and now theres ashes is my tea :( And thats how my house almost burnt down
this works out pretty well. I used a chai tea bag and to save time to just boiled some almond milk into boiled water with ginger, cinammon, all spice and organic syrup. TY
This is gorgeous. I used agave instead of maple. I only added 2 tsp of agave to the milk and that was plenty sweet enough for me. Thanks for the recipe xx
Oh goodness, this sounds and looks delicious. I haven't been satisfied lately with chai teabags, so I think I will definitely give your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Tried this recipe today...she is absolutely right. Better than at a coffee shop and I love that it is sweetened with maple syrup! Give this a go for sure! I thought it wouldnt be that sweet but it definitely is! Its perfect! -Taylor
Thank You! I love Chai tea but with my hypoglycemia I am very sensitive to black tea and milk, but Im going to try your recipe with Almond milk and a tea that I am not sensitive to. Maybe my Chai days are not over afterall!! 🤗🤗 Thank You! SUBSCRIBED!! 👍
We have another variation recipe on our new channel as well. I personally like honey as a sweetener, but raw sugar, melted into the hot tea infusion while steeping, is also great. Chai lattes are one of my favorite drinks of all time...especially iced chai latte! It's delicious with soy milk, but I also love almond milk...and a little topping of whipped cream is an extra indulgence!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I am so tired of getting bad chai when I am out and about. I have resorted to trying it at home. I cant wait to try your recipe. Have a great day!! :)
RelaxingFeelings 3 cups of water, one cup of milk( goes later) , 2-3 teaspoons of tea ( depends on how strong it is) , crushed ginger. Boil boil boil.. Sugar / honey ( or maple syrup. Never heard it being used before but worth a try).
It's better to use the actual spices crushed/sliced, cuz just by the looks of it, it seems the ground up spices will overpower the other flavours. Also tea powder is best for a deeper tea taste.
Thanks for the video! Bhakti Chai is my all time favorite and there are a few recipes on RUclips. Love all of the spicy hot fresh ginger juice they use.
This sounds exactly like what is served in coffee shops in the U.S. It might as well be from a teabag (some aren't that bad. Not good, but drinkable). Try a true traditional chai for a really wonderful beverage. There are a few recipes on RUclips if traveling to Pakistan is out of the picture.
Traditionally masala chai is brewed directly in a milk+water mixture, presumably because the essential oils in the spices are fat-soluble. This will make the mixture less strong, plus it's going to be diluted later with the milk. If you're going for a Starbucks style mild "chai latte" how are all these steps superior to just buying a Tazo concentrate and mixing the way they do?
a very simple, iced latte recipe: **ingredients** classic Oregon chai (comes in a quart) milk (any type) 3-4 ice cubes **how to** fill the cup 3/4 with your oregon chai and then the other 1/4 with milk. easy and delicious, period
No you're wrong. Chai in English refers to the specific kind of tea, not tea in general. Therefore, saying Chai Tea is completely valid. It's just like saying the Sahara Desert or Timor Leste.
It's 10x easier to just make normal masala chai that tastes 1000x more delicious by using WHOLE spices, lots of black tea, fresh ginger, black pepper, cloves, ditching the nutmeg and allspice, and brewing in whole or lowfat milk. The milk is extremely important because most of the flavor compounds of the spices are not water soluble, they're fat soluble and milk has fat content. Chai lattes drink like American filter coffee, limp and watery. Masala chai drinks like Italian espresso, full bodied and intense. It's an apt comparison too because espresso exploits the higher solubility of coffee flavor compounds at the higher temperatures of steam compared to boiling water.

But we indians use water in our chai so basically if u r making 2 cups of chai it's 1 cup water 1 cup milk otherwise it would be too milky
I used honey instead of maple syrup and it turned out great!
Maple syrup in tea is disgusting!! What happened to just using sugar?? Canadians put maple syrup in and on everything she must be a Canadian..
@@Catsface99 agreed those canadians are crazy
Who tf puts honey or maple syrup bro
Not going out of my way to get 100% pure maple syrup anytime soon..

I wouldnt really consider this an easy way to make tea
This isn't basic tea though is it
Is this really above your skill set?
Anyone fancy a cup of tea? Great, come back in two weeks
thats because that how u make real chai

Yes, Thank you. However Starbucks is the culprit of this naming convention. Most people don't know the difference.
I've always called it a "Spice Chai Latte." Is that okay with you Ry?
Whenever I buy chai lattes or whatever they're always called chair tea [lattes] on the menu or bottle
Ry Estares well two parts tea to one part milk is what I use so I guess it's accurate for me haha

As I expected when I started the video, i would need to buy 3/4 of the ingredients and a special blender haha
“emersion blender” and a spice I’ve never heard of... This was a no for me easy

HONESTLY
Germaine Nimundele Un.. nobody said this wasn’t Indian. I already knew that, and anybody who googled what “Chai tea” is would know that
No one said it isn't Indian. Cry me a river

Thanks Amy!
All the indians watching this are screaming internally like I am.
I know right
This is soooo bad
😆😆 she probably got it from an Indian too.
I’m sitting here wondering where the hell she pulled maple syrup out of thin air from. 😂
No maple syrup. 🤪
What is the best recipe? I want to make authentic chai....difficult to find real recipe
or you can get chai tea powder or spiced black tea and add milk
Could you also just use chai tea bags?
I made mine with a few different ingredients but it's soooo good
Thank you for sharing, I used chinese green tea, cinnamon, ginger, sugar, 1% milk and blended together, it worked great too
Great tip!
This Chai tea is incredible! I just made it and I’m going to print it out, this will be In my family for years❤️

Thanks Josh, I appreciate that.
Put the chai tea leaves in a Moka pot the same way you make Italian coffee and just add steamed milk. Voila

Great recipe, added vanilla bean to mine, taste's perfact!

So excited to try this!!!
Have to try it
So tasty!!! Thanks for the recipe
You dont put syrup in chia tea. Thanks though.
If it tastes good, what’s the harm? Starbucks uses syrups in their teas

Nellie Pluss Change the tea. Teas in the West tend to be pretty mild. Try getting hold of Indian / Pakistani / srilankan tea bags.
