3. Brew with Care

Here's how to brew the perfect cup of chai tea

• Heat water in a saucepan or kettle until it reaches a rolling boil.
• Add loose-leaf chai tea or chai tea bags to the boiling water.

• If using loose-leaf chai, strain the tea into your mug to remove the leaves and spices.

4. Add Your Personal Touch

Customize your chai tea to enhance its flavor and richness:

• Stir in a spoonful of honey, sugar, or your preferred sweetener to balance the spices.
• Pour in warm milk or a dairy-free alternative to create a creamy texture. Adjust the milk-to-tea ratio based on your preference for a stronger or milder chai flavor.
