Perfect Pairing #1: Homemade Spiced Chai Tea Latte Recipe
What is chai tea? In my opinion, it's definitely the best stuff on earth! Chai is by origin an Indian concoction of delicious, fragrant spices - cardamom, star anise, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are frequently found in Chai. The recipe below uses pepper (I would probably leave that out). Fresh black tea is also used as a base.
In chai tea latte, steamed milk is used to create the latte. It's absolutely wonderful. Chai mix is easy to make and store, also. Doing a quick search on Google for chai tea mix recipes will bring up tons of great resources on blogs.
We like the step-by-step instructions for making chai from TastyKitchen.com. They also provided a printable recipe, which we have published below.
