How To Brew

Have you wanted to learn how to make authentic traditional chai but not sure if you're reading or watching credible resources? Well, you're in the right place. 

The Chai Family is focused on preserving the heritage of chai and different chai blends to help you access the best quality chai products and spices on the market. 

So, how can you make chai properly?

Get your blend right!

Firstly, you need a good quality chai (spices with tea) blend. You can purchase a good one from us. We take chai making really seriously and tasted about 50 different teas from India until we settled on a single origin, organic and fair trade tea leaf from the Assam region of India. We pair this tea with spices to create well balanced chai blends. We have a few different blends as everyone has a different spice profile. Much like how we all enjoy different pizza toppings or coffee types, we all enjoy different chai blends.

Some of our best sellers include:

  • Signature masala chai
  • Pumpkin spiced chai
  • Spiced chocolate chai

Let's get brewing!

Now that you've got your blend sorted, let's get brewing! Some essential items that you will need include:

  2. Add 1 Level TBSP of Chai blend.
  3. Simmer on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 1/2 Cup Milk

how do i make chai dairy-free?

Choose a non-dairy milk that has some fat, it'll help to cut through the spices and create a well rounded flavour profile. We suggest one of either: soy milk, almond milk or oat milk.
can i use alternative sweeteners?

Yes! Natural sweeteners can be a great alternative to white sugar.
how do i make it stronger/weaker?
  • Too strong

Add a splash of milk and repeat until the colour lightens.

  • Too weak

Boil for 2-3 minutes more or add another pinch of our Chai mix.
