Due to the increasing popularity of chai, coffee chains in the US started serving it on their menus. Even though it doesn't taste exactly like Indian chai, it's close enough. We are going to show you how to make as close to the original as possible. It is a great choice for replacing coffee in the morning.
We will be using our own blend of Chai which has a lot of spices inside in order to make a more authentic taste.
