I absolutely love warming spices and we drink chai tea a lot at home. Chai latte, though, is usually something I only have when I am out. I know you can make it properly by boiling milk, adding spices, sugar and all that, but if I am honest it feels like a lot of effort when a tea bag exists.
This one does all the hard work for you. The milk is already built in, along with all the spices.
When I opened the tub the powder was much paler than I expected, which made me worry the flavour might be weak. You are meant to use four teaspoons per mug. My mug is on the larger side so I was a bit generous with it.
It mixed up really easily and, thankfully, turned into that familiar chai latte brown rather than staying pale. First impressions were instantly reassuring.
The drink itself is sweet, but not overly so. The warming spices are the star here. The cinnamon really shines through and I absolutely loved that. I could also pick up cardamom, which gives it a lovely depth and a slightly different twist compared to standard chai drinks. Overall, it is a super soothing, comforting drink. Exactly the sort of thing you want wrapped in a blanket on a cold winter evening.
