The Ultimate Guide to Making an Addictive Chai Latte at Home

No doubt you're all pros at brewing chai, but we thought we'd give a little refresher for newcomers and veterans alike on how to make the most addictive chai latte at home. If you are a long-standing supporter of our chai concentrates, there may still be some useful tips here for you.

But in case you need to sharpen your brewing prowess, head here to make a very addictive chai latte and here for our guide on choosing the sweetener for you.

METHOD 1: STOVE TOP

For 3-4 minutes, simmer 30ml of chai concentrate with 220ml of your preferred milk in a small pot over medium heat. To truly appreciate the flavour, we recommend adding at least 2 teaspoons of honey or your sweetener of choice to enhance the flavour of the chai spices. Remove before it reaches boiling point and serve in your favourite cup. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

METHOD 2: MICROWAVE

Our chai concentrates have also been made for the busy lifestyle, so if you’re in a hurry or on the go, mix the ingredients together in a cup and easily zap ⚡️ it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

METHOD 3: MILK FROTHER

If you're lucky enough to own a coffee machine with a frothing wand, mix all the ingredients in the milk jug and steam until the bottom of the jug feels almost hot to the touch. Apply the same process for a stand-alone milk frother.

PRO-TIPS

• Make sure to measure out the ingredients - 30ml of chai is 2 large tablespoons or a shot glass. Measure out the milk to 220ml (just under a cup) to ensure it doesn't dilute the flavour of the chai.
• For a smooth creamy texture, we recommend using soy for Chai Addict & Chai Harder. Bonsoy & Happy Happy Soy Boy are our go-to. Our Dirty Chai blend pairs well with oat milk; we like Happy Happy Oat Oat Oat. All milk alternatives are available for purchase on our website.
• Adding at least 2 teaspoons of sweetener will enhance and create a more robust chai flavour. We use coconut sugar as it has a lovely caramel flavour that truly accentuates the flavour of the chai. This is the winning blend we use at our tastings when we attend markets.
• If you’re living in the warmer parts of the country, you might like it iced, so we recommend using ice-cold milk and a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or agave to easily blend into the chai and milk.
