    "excerpt": "Brioche French toast soaked in a dirty chai custard on Drink Me Chai Dirty Chai Latte powder, served with maple syrup, yogurt and blueberries.",
    "content_text": "Dirty chai French toast works the coffee-and-chai spice straight into the custard, so it flavours the bread from the inside as it soaks rather than just sitting in a syrup on top. A spoonful of Drink Me Chai Dirty Chai Latte whisked into the egg and milk is all it takes.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for the Dirty Chai French Toast recipe. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/chai-tea/dirty-chai-french-toast/Use thick brioche so it soaks up plenty of custard without falling apart, and fry it in a mix of butter and a little oil so the butter does not catch before the toast colours. Stack it with maple, a spoon of yogurt and some blueberries for a proper weekend brunch.",
