Sweeten to Taste: The Freedom of a Customisable Chai Latte

One of the most unique things about Chai Addict’s unsweetened, 100% sugar free chai concentrate is that YOU control the sweetness. We’ve intentionally removed sugar from our liquid chai blends so that you have the OPTION and FREEDOM to DECIDE how much, if any, sweetener you’d like to add. And you all love it—just take a look at what our customers are saying:

"Delicious spice flavour without the sugar!" — Emma
"Very tasty! I really appreciate that it’s sugar free, too." — Bree
"I am diabetic, and it is low sugar and tastes great." — Gary

Why No Sugar? Because Your Taste Buds Deserve a Choice

If you're anything like us, some days we crave a completely sugar-free chai latte, while other days, we want all that sugar in our life! 😆 Taste buds evolve, cravings change, and we honour this flow by giving you the ability to create a chai latte that suits your need.

Sweetener Enhances Chai’s Flavour—Here’s How

Our recommendation to "sweeten to taste" isn’t just a nice to have —it actually affects the flavour of your chai. Just like a pinch of salt enhances savoury dishes, sweeteners amplify chai’s rich spices, bringing out the depth of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Adding just one teaspoon of sugar, honey, or maple syrup can create a more robust, well-rounded flavour.

Here’s what some of our customers have discovered:

"Taste is on point and I love adding a little honey for added sweetness." — Julie
" I made it with the recommendation of using soy, oat, or almond milk with a bit of honey and it's perfect!" — Sarah
"I love the Chai Harder, it has quite a kick! I add a tiny bit of maple syrup and it’s perfect!" — Margaret

How Much Sweetener Should You Add?

If you're transitioning from a sugary chai latte from a café, you may need some guidance on how much sweetener to add to achieve your preferred taste:

If you love powdered or syrup-based chai → Add 3-4 teaspoons of sweetener to match that familiar taste.
If you're used to sticky chai → Try 1-2 teaspoons for a balanced flavour.
If you're cutting back on sugar → Slowly reduce the amount over time to allow your taste buds to adjust to a sugar-free chai.

The Bottom Line

For a full-bodied, authentic masala chai experience, we recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of sweetener. But if you're working towards reducing sugar intake, simply adjust your sweetness level over time. Either way, with Chai Addict’s liquid chai concentrates, you have the power and flexibility to create your perfect cup, every single time.
