With so many artisanal chai concentrates to choose from nowadays, you can make your own barista-worthy cuppa right at home.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sweetened or unsweetened chai concentrate
- ½ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
Preparation
- Put the chai concentrate into a large mug.
- Put the milk into a separate heatproof mug. Hold the mug in one hand and place under the steam wand so the bottom of the wand is just below the surface of the milk at an angle. Select the Steam function and press the START/STOP knob to start steaming. While holding the mug at an angle, allow the steam to move the milk around. Once the milk begins to increase in volume, lift the mug up higher so the steam wand immerses deeper into the milk (this will prevent large bubbles from forming and will make a nice fine milk foam). When the foam has almost reached the top of the mug and you can feel that the milk in the mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few times to remove any larger bubbles.
- Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding back the foam, into the mug with chai concentrate.
- Serve immediately.
Dirty Chai:
Brew 1 espresso capsule into the mug with the chai concentrate.
