I used a shortcut and microwaved loose leaf masala chai along with (oat)milk, strained the chai and followed the recipe. It was my first time making this and I liked it! Thanks for sharing :)

Yum! Going to try this with some oatmilk as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the estrogen in dairy. Thanks for sharing

Woooow! So clever! I had no idea there was such a thing as a handheld air pump - will be buying one at some point. Thank you 🙏👏

I make a chai flavored coffee - 2 tsp instant coffee, 2.5T coffee creamer (I make my own with heavy cream powder, non fat milk powder and grass fed collagen), two shakes of pumpkin pie spice, a shake of cardamom powder and 13 drops of English Toffee stevia. Mix everything together and pour in hot water (14-16oz)...YUM!!! 😋☕

I have a prosumer espresso machine so making this will be much easier for me. Thanks for showing me this!

I remember the few times i did chai latte i did it from scratch, the black tea leafes boiling with raw spices and than the milk. But this one looks yummy as well. I didnt get though why you mixed tea and coffee.

How did the word 'dirty come in this concept of tea? Feel dirty to drink it .

[nedj]

Chai is the Hindi word for tea, Masala Chai is spiced tea isn't a thing, its literally saying tea tea.

Soo confused if the name of the tea is dirty chai tea latte

This is weird / dumb recipe. Looks weak. And too small. Just make a regular sized cup of tea with boiling hot water--using TWO chai tea bags (your choice of brand, etc... but I personally like the Stash Double Chai when I can find it in stores). When you add 1/2 and 1/2 to the tea it will really weaken the flavor--so you need to start with VERY strong tea. Once I have my tea made I just add sugar to taste... maybe a little on the sweet side--again--because the added 1/2 and 1/2 will dilute it. Then I add my espresso shot(s) depending on how big a cup I want. (If I'm making a roadie it will usually be a double sized cup--so 12 to 16 ounces.) Then I add 1/2 and 1/2 to taste--the more you add the weaker the concoction. (I do iced chai lattes mostly... so I mix them a bit stronger than normal because as the ice melts it--again--dilutes the overall mixture.)

I'm not really a coffee drinker so I use the espresso lightly... because it will DEFINITELY over-power the chai tea flavor. And it will also really add a lot of caffeine... which can get me too AMPED UP. :)
