Chai Tea

I have just discovered the Tea India range of chai and am enjoying a cup as I type this. I don't find it sweet. I add milk and I really like the spicy flavour. It is a lovely warming drink for a dreich day.

I also don't find chai tea sweet - though it would be if you put too much sugar or honey or other sweetener in.

I make mine with at least ½ milk so obviously sweeter than a black tea though - and the one I'm using at the moment has some honey already in it.

I think if you order chai tea in some cafes, it's made with a chai flavoured syrup rather than loose tea or teabags, so that makes it very sweet.

That explains a lot MissInterpreted
- interesting.

Sounds like an interesting change of drink. I'll investigate in our local supermarket. I did have it once in Bangladesh. It was all boiled up and not very nice. I had to drink two cups of it so as to be polite but I wouldn't like that sort again. However, I'm tempted by Parsley3's comment about it being a nice warming drink.

Well I went out and bought a tub of instant Chai latte. I must say I quite liked it. Interesting and a bit different. Glad I read this thread.
