Royal Chai Latte 200 Gr

Description

Chai latte is a Western café invention rather than a South Asian one, and it is worth saying so plainly, because shoppers expecting the chai of their childhood are often disappointed by it. The ratio is inverted: where chai is tea lightened with milk, a latte is milk flavoured with tea and spice.

Three to four heaped teaspoons in a mug of hot water gives a creamy, mild, sweet cup with the cardamom sitting well back. It froths reasonably if you whisk it or use a milk frother, which is most of its appeal. If you want the strong dark cup instead, the karak and masala tubs on this shelf are the ones to take.

Is this the same as the karak chai tub? No. Karak is stronger, darker and more tea forward. This is milkier and milder, built to be foamed rather than boiled.

Can I make it with milk instead of water? You can, and it becomes very rich. Milk powder is already in the mix, so most people find water gives the balance the tub was designed for.

The other milk based tub in the range is Royal’s hot chocolate tub, and the wider shelf carries the proper chai patti. Vegetarian. Keep the pack sealed and always use a dry spoon, because the powder clumps the moment it meets damp.
