Pro Tips:
Follow these pro tips to up your chai game.
- Turn your bag upside down a few times before brewing. The powdered spices can settle during transit.
- Bring the water to a complete boil before adding your Chai Spice Tea.
- Looking for that extra kick? Add freshly grated ginger and/or 1/4 tsp black pepper while boiling tea leaves.
- Do not boil tea in water for over 5 mins. Overcooking the tea makes the tea leaves release their tannins and make the chai bitter.
- Double or triple boil chai, always!
