Okay, here's my Dirty Chai recipe - but with the warning that it is chai-mix dependent. I used a different chai blend with the same ratios and it didn't taste as nice. But this is at least a starting point... and it may be irrelevant because I use different equipment! This is made for a Hario Switch (combination infusion/pourover device).
Ingredients:
* 10 grams ground coffee beans
* 20 grams chai mix/blend (this is not "instant chai", it is a mix of herbs and spices, without any milk powder, but with added sweetener)
* 250 ml boiling water
Method:
1. Set the Hario Switch to infusion mode
2. Put in your coffee filter
3. Pour in the hot water FIRST
4. Pour in the coffee NEXT. Stir gently to make sure all the coffee is submerged.
5. Then the chai mix LAST. Stir this gently also.
6. Allow to steep for 2 minutes.
7. Set the Hario Switch over to pourover mode and let the liquid drain into the jug
Pour into your cup and enjoy!
Yes, no milk. It is delicious enough without it, but it would be delicious with lovely frothy milk too.
The perfect ratios for Dirty Chai:
* 10g ground coffee
* 20g Chai Mix
* 250 ml boiling water
Steep for 2 minutes, then filter.
This gives a lovely balance between spicy chai and coffee.
No, there isn't any milk in this.
The "Chai Mix" is not instant chai latte powder, but a mix which is intended to be steeped and does not dissolve. I got it at Woolworths, can't remember the brand.
There's a The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf x #tokidoki #Collab, with special flavors and #Merch.
I got a #Boba Bob, #DirtyChai #Latte with boba. It's weaker than I like (ofc), but not bad, and the boba (which I don't usually get) complements. Free #Sticker with collab drink, too.
They've already sold out of a lot of merch, online and in-store, and I hate myself for getting 3/4 #EnamelPins. But so cute...🥹
