Posted on août 8, 2008 in 006-Chai Latté (tea) by alexComments Off

Chai is India’s national drink. Outside of India, it is often called Chai LattĂ©. A blend of spices, tea, milk and sugar, Chai can be enjoyed in the morning, the afternoon, or in the evening.  Creamy and slightly sweet, it can even replace dessert, especially after a delicious Indian meal.

 

In India, there is a Chai vendor on every street corner, and each one artistically spices his Chai to his taste. Once a person has found a well balanced cup of Chai that is to their taste, they remain faithful to the vendor and will even cross a busy city to drink their favorite Chai! With this Chai Latté Masala you will be able to make Chai Latté at home and rival the best Indian street Chai.

 

All of my recipes and spice blends are original creations and use a minimum of fat, sugar and salt. Healthy, tasty food starts here. Taste the difference!

 

This recipe is for 3 cups or 2 large mugs, but you can easily multiply the proportions to serve a group.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  

* 720 ml (3 cups) of water

* 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of Chai Latté Masala by ohmasala.com

* 1 Orange Pekoe tea bag (regular or decaffeinated)

* 160 ml (2/3 cup) of 3.25% m.f. milk (or 2% m.f.)

* 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of sugar

 

PROCEDURE 

 

* In a pan, bring the water and Chai Latté Masala to a boil.

* Add the tea and let boil for 3 minutes.

* Add the sugar and milk. Watch closely!

* Very quickly, the Chai Latté will foam up. Let it boil for 2 more minutes.

* Depending on the size of your pan, there is a risk that it will boil over. If needed, lift the pan off the burner. The Chai Latté will immediately shrink back down.

* Pour the Chai Latté through a fine strainer and into a large measuring cup as soon as it is ready. If you let it soak for longer, it will taste bitter. Then pour it into your cup.

* To avoid the formation of a skin on the surface of your Chai Latté, as you pour it into your cup, pour it from a height of 30 cm (12 inches). This will create a protective layer of foam.
