Sticky Fresh Chai
Its fair to say that I am chai obsessed and have a least one a day. One of my favourite things to do when the kiddies have their lunch time nap is sit down for 10 minutes and relax with a walm cup of chai made with almond milk.
This sticky chai recipe is full of beautiful flavours to warm you up from the inside out.
To make a mug of chai simply use i heaped tablespoon of the sticky chai and 250ml of milk. My favourite is almond milk however you can use normal milk, coconut milk or any other nut milk. To make in the Thermomix simply add the chai and milk to the bowl and cook for 5 minutes/ 70 degrees/ speed 1.5 and then strain into a mug. If you don’t have a Thermomix you can still make this on the stove. Simply add the chai and milk and gently heat for 5 minutes. Strain into a glass. Adjust sweetness by adding honey to your mug of chai as desired.
Enjoy
