The Ultimate Chai Latte Recipe

In the realm of comforting beverages, the classic Chai latte stands as a beacon of warmth and spice.

Originating from India this aromatic drink has traversed borders and won hearts, evolving into a café staple beloved by many.

The perfect chai latte is a symphony of spices that dance on the palate, a creamy texture that soothes the throat, and a sweetness that speaks to the soul.

It's not just a drink; it's a ritual, a momentary escape to a world where every sip is a celebration of life's rich flavours.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Brewing Time: 3-4 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

1-2 teaspoon Planet Organic Chai Latte blend
2 tbsp of freshly boiled water
2 cups of your preferred milk (full-fat dairy for richness or almond milk for a nutty twist)
Sweetener of choice (We love honey or Maple Syrup), to taste
Cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)
Star anise for an extra spice kick (optional)

Method:

Spice Infusion: Add the Planet Organic Chai Latte blend to freshly boiled water, stirring to ensure it's fully immersed. (If you're feeling adventurous, a star anise can be added at this stage for an extra layer of spice).
Milk Magic: In a separate saucepan or using a milk frother, heat your milk until it's hot but not boiling. For those who enjoy the art of latte making, frothing the milk to achieve a creamy consistency and a velvety foam top is key.
Sweetness and Spice: Once the spices have steeped to your liking (typically around 3-4 minutes), remove the anise if using, and sweeten with honey or maple syrup, stirring well to dissolve.
The Pour: Gently pour the hot, frothed milk over the chai-infused mixture.
Garnish and Serve: For a touch of elegance, garnish with a cinnamon stick, which can also be used as a stirrer. If you've used star anise, you can float it atop the foam for an aesthetic and aromatic finish.
