How to Brew Organic Chai Tea 

Chai is traditionally prepared on a stovetop, using more aggressive and rigorous brewing methods than Western tea brewing. Mix 2 tablespoons of chai per cup of water, and bring to a boil for two minutes. Add 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy substitute) and simmer once again for 3-5 minutes, before straining into a mug or cup. For a classic street-side preparation, froth the tea by repeatedly passing it between two pitchers and serve in a glass cup.

FAQs

Traditionally, chai is prepared with Assam tea from Assam, India — although other black teas can be substituted for a different profile.

Certainly! Although chai blends are well suited to dairy milk, they can be enjoyed with a non-dairy milk substitute, or simply black.
