Curator note · Drink Me Chai
The flagship the rest of the range spins off: the original spiced chai latte, cinnamon-cardamom-ginger warmth in an instant powder that froths into a cafe-style cup in under a minute, no machine, no saucepan. This is the benchmark, the chocolate, vanilla, apple and dirty versions are all variations on this. It contains real tea, so there is caffeine. Convenience over purism, obviously, but as a quick everyday chai latte at home it is genuinely good and the sensible place to start before trying the flavoured spins.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

Drink Me Chai Spiced Chai Latte is the original masala chai instant latte powder from Drink Me Chai, the UK brand owned by founder Amanda Hamilton and the DMC team, the standard masala chai latte format that the rest of the Drink Me Chai range is built around, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the easy-make alternative to brewing a proper bagged chai and frothing milk separately.

The base is the standard Drink Me Chai recipe of black tea extract, the four-spice quartet of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves, and milk powder for the latte texture, without the chocolate or vanilla or coffee variants that distinguish the rest of the range. Spoon two heaped teaspoons into a mug, add hot water and stir, the powder dissolving in seconds to give a frothy spiced-chai cup that compares well to the coffee-shop chai latte for a fraction of the price per serve and works at home morning or evening.

Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.

A 250g household pouch at an accessible price compared to the coffee-shop chai latte at the local cafe, the original spiced-chai cup in the Drink Me Chai line and the recipe against which the chocolate, dirty, vanilla and apple-pie siblings are measured, a sensible household pouch for the daily masala chai latte at home.

The Story Behind the Drink Me Chai

Drink Me Chai was created in 2007 by Amanda Hamilton Stubber and Adam Hamilton Stubber, husband and wife founders who had spent time travelling India and noticed that the proper spiced chai they'd had in Mumbai was almost impossible to find in the UK. They started blending small batches in their kitchen in Yorkshire and have since grown into the UK's best known chai latte brand, still family owned today.

The Planet Friendly Promise

Drink Me Chai is a leader in providing authentic latte infusions that respect traditional botanical sourcing and community welfare.

  • Community Support Focus: Profits support the Pratham charity for children education in India ensuring your daily ritual has a global impact.

  • Global Terroir Sourcing: Blended and packed in the UK using high quality ingredients sourced from India and the EU to ensure maximum flavour potency.

  • Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

  • Botanical Authenticity: Maintaining long term relationships with suppliers to ensure the technical integrity of the original family recipes.

Brewing The Perfect Cup

To unlock the full potential of your Drink Me Chai Spiced Latte specific aeration techniques are required to activate the spice oils and create the signature froth.

The Chai Master Brewing Instructions

  • Measure: Add 3 heaped teaspoons (approx 20g) of powder into your favourite pre warmed mug.

  • Water: Pour in 200ml of hot water or hot milk. 80°C is ideal to protect the milk proteins from scorching.

  • Whisk: Stir or whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to activate the frothing agents and spices.

  • The Dirty Chai Kick: For an extra caffeine boost and a deeper flavour profile in 2026, add a freshly pulled shot of espresso to your prepared hot Spiced Chai Latte.

The Iced Spiced Chai Ritual

  • The Prep: Add 4 heaped teaspoons of powder to a tall glass and mix with a splash of hot water to dissolve into a thick syrup.

  • The Chill: Top with 200ml of chilled milk and whisk or froth well.

  • The Serve: Serve over plenty of ice for a refreshing summer ritual. The ginger and cardamom create a sophisticated and bracing iced chai refreshment with a thick creamy texture.
