chai latte - quick & easy

Chai latte.  Perfect cool-weather spicy comfort in a cup.  

But it's a bit of bother to make from scratch.  Which I've done for years using a real-deal chai recipe (straight from a missionary in India!):  chopped and smashed fresh ginger, crushed green cardamom pods, simmered with cinnamon, black tea, sugar and finished off with milk.  


Then I was introduced to essential oils. Transformative!


So here's a quick and easy way to make chai.  Honestly, my from-scratch recipe is a 10 on the 1 - 10 scale of goodness.  This quick version is a good solid 9.  If I can get 90% of the goodness with about 2% of the effort, that's a pretty decent trade off, right?!

And this recipe has nice health benefits from the addition of essential oils:  immune and digestive support in particular.  Especially important as we head into winter!

easy chai latte with essential oils (10 - 12 oz cup)
  • make a cup -- about 8 oz -- of strong black tea
  • add these oils:  Start with one drop*, add or subtract** to fit your preferences: ginger, cardamom and cinnamon
  • add 2- 4 oz milk, cream or half-and-half -- to taste -- if you have a frother, all the better!
  • add sweetener of choice to taste

* drop: For recipes, I highly recommend removing the dropper top and using an eye dropper for better control of quantity. Usually the drop-size is smaller, too, giving you even more control.  The difference between one drop and two is huge!
** how do you subtract and use less than one drop?  You can dip a toothpick into the oil and then swirl into your tea.  Clever!
