The Perfect Chai Latte Recipe

A Chai Latte is a cosy and soothing hot drink. We use Tea Box’s Masala Chai blend which literally translates to ‘mixed spice tea’.

The simplest traditional method of preparing a Chai Latte is to actively simmer or boil a mixture of milk and water with loose leaf tea, sweeteners and whole spices. But for a nice easy no fuss recipe just follow the following steps below.

Ingredients (makes 2 mugs)
4 large table spoons of loose leaf TeaBox Masala Chai
4 teaspoons of runny honey (Sheffield Honey is my preferred choice)
2 mugs of milk (if you can get hold of Our Cow Molly milk even better)

  1. In a saucepan add the loose leaf tea and the milk and bring up to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and brew the tea in the milk for around 4-5 mins.
  2.  
  3. Carefully strain the tea leafs from the milk using a tea strainer or sieve. Next add the honey and stir until it dissolves.
  4.  
  5. As a finishing touch I like to give the mixture a quick whisk to make it nice and froffy. Serve with a sprinkling of mixed spice and enjoy.
