Chai Tea Latte

Chai tea is one of my all-time favourite drinks. I could have it all day long. This recipe is a very authentic version of the chai spice mix and little peppery. I think it makes it wonderfully warm and you can whiz up this Thermomix recipe so quickly, it is amazing. I also make more Chai mix during the winter months and give it away as gifts during Christmas time, makes a great gift. It is up to you if you want to have the tea with or without the black tea and you can choose which type of black tea you like. I chose a darjeeling and thought it worked so well, the flavour was perfect.
