Chai Latte is a deliciously smooth beverage that is as comforting as a hot milo by the fireplace on a cold winters night! I'm not sure if its the familiar texture of the creamy milk, or the staring role of cinnamon in the company of cardamom and star anise, but whatever it is, Chai Latte is delicious!
Making a Chai Latte at home is so simple too - its the same process as making a hot milo or hot chocolate. Drop a couple of teaspoons into a milk jug (or cup), add a small amount of hot water to dissolve the chai then top it off with milk and steam it as you would regular milk for coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine steam wand, your microwave is your friend.
You might be surprised to know, that even though the word Latte is used to describe the popular coffee, there is no coffee in a chai latte. the ingredients are: Cinnamon, Cardamon, Star Anise, Tea Extract, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Vegetable Oil, Sodium Caseinate from Milk, Emulsifier (471), Stabiliser (340), Anti-Caking Agent (551), Beta Carotene, Dextrose, Milk Solids and Caramel Colour.
