Your chai tea lattes suck. Really, this includes all of you. Why do you think we want chai flavored syrup in milk? Why not call it a chai milk steamer? It's too sweet. It's too milky. When I drink tea, I expect there to be brewed tea in my cup. Ok fine, I have been to one or two independent coffee shops where they brewed there own chai, but honestly, I wasn't impressed. Why spend the five bucks? I make better chai tea at home.
Here's my recipe.
3/4 cup brewed black tea
1/4 cup milk (for richer tea, use whole milk or cream)
2 tbs chai flavoring (You can use chai concentrate or chai syrup. I've tried different brands, and I don't think it matters which one you use)
See how simple it is? And the nice thing is, your patrons will actually have some caffeine in their drink. What a concept.
