Steps for the Best Method of Making Chai Latte

1. Choose Your Ingredients
   Gather your Turmeric Chai Latte blend, You can also add fresh ginger, whole spices, or sweeteners like honey or sugar to customise your chai.
2. Boil Water and Milk (Optional)
   Start by boiling water. If you prefer a creamier chai, use a combination of water and milk (or a dairy-free alternative) in equal parts or adjust to your preference. Typically, you'll want about 1 cup of liquid per serving.
3. Add your Chai
   Once your water (or water and milk mixture) starts boiling, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Indian Masala Chai per cup. If you want a stronger flavour, opt for 2 teaspoons. Stir the mixture to ensure the tea leaves and spices are well distributed.
4. Simmer for Flavour Extraction
   Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes. Simmering helps extract the full flavour of the spices. The longer you simmer, the more robust and spiced your chai will be.
5. Sweeten (Optional)
   Add sweeteners like honey, sugar, or agave syrup to taste. Some traditional chai recipes call for a sweetener added during the simmering stage, which helps dissolve it more easily and enhances the overall flavour, but this is your personal choice.
6. Strain the Latte
   After simmering, strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer to remove the spices. Make sure to press down on the spices with a spoon to extract as much flavour as possible.
7. Serve and Enjoy
   Pour the strained chai into cups and enjoy your freshly brewed Turmeric Chai Latte. You can adjust sweetness or add extra milk based on your preference. For an authentic touch, you can top it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon or ground cardamom.

Tips:

• If you want a stronger chai, you can brew for longer or increase the tea-to-water ratio.
• For iced chai, let the tea cool and serve over ice.
• You can add fresh spices to enhance the depth of flavour.
