British Chai Latte

teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 PG Tips Chai tea bags
• 120ml rolling boil water, for a strong concentrate
• 220ml milk of your choice
• 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or sugar, to taste
• A pinch of cinnamon, to dust

Method

1. Make a concentrate: steep 2 chai bags in just 120ml rolling boil water for 5 minutes. Two bags in little water with a generous steep is the cafe trick that gets enough spice into the cup.
2. Squeeze and remove the bags, then stir the honey or sugar into the hot concentrate so it dissolves.
3. Heat the milk to about 65C, steaming not boiling, and froth it; whole dairy or barista oat are best.
4. Pour the chai concentrate into a warmed cup, then add the hot milk while holding the foam back with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
5. Dust with cinnamon. Far less sweet than a syrup pumped shop version, and the spice actually carries.
