Variations & Tips

  • For a caffeine-free version, substitute the black tea leaves with rooibos tea.
  • You can also adjust the sweetness by using less sugar or a sugar substitute to your preference.
  • For a creamier chai, add more powdered milk to the mix or use a non-dairy creamer when preparing your cup.
  • Feel free to experiment with the spice levels to suit your taste—add more ginger for a spicier kick, or extra cinnamon for a sweeter, more aromatic blend.
