Soy chai latté

While it's slowly heating up here in Melbourne, we still sometimes get the rare wintry days and that's when I break out my stash and make myself an indulgent cup of soy chai latté at home. 

The word chai means 'tea' in many languages. The typical chai we know today is derived from the traditional Indian masala chai, which is a special brew of mixed-spice tea. In the mix, you usually have black tea leaves, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. As ginger and cardamom are spices that have natural warming properties, it's no wonder why we drink chai with milk in the colder months.

I've been told by my friends that Bonsoy is the best soy milk brand to have my chai with, and now I'm passing this advice on to everyone who hasn't yet tried the brand - it really is very yummy!

Ingredients
2 teaspoons of chai mix (I used T2 Chai)
500ml soy milk
2 teaspoons of honey
Cinnamon powder, to flavour

Serves 2

Method
Brew all ingredients in a small pot, stirring occasionally to ensure the milk doesn't burn
Once brought to a simmer, pour the brew to an infuser or a French press 
Pour into your own cup and if desired, sprinkle cinnamon powder on top and enjoy!
