Chai Spice Blend

Description

Chai Spice Blend – aromatic, warming and versatile

Our chai spice blend is a balanced mix of fennel, cinnamon pieces, anise, ginger, liquorice root, cloves and cardamom. It delivers a warm, spicy flavour with a gentle sweetness and a subtle kick, perfect for chai tea, chai latte or masala chai.

You can prepare it with water, milk, plant-based drinks or black tea – giving you full flexibility for your daily chai moments.

Make your own chai latte and masala chai

For a chai latte, simply heat the spice blend with milk or a plant-based drink and sweeten to taste. For a traditional masala chai, add black tea for a stronger base. Robust teas like Ceylon or Assam work especially well.

Use around 15–20 g of chai spice blend per litre of water. Pour in boiling water (100 °C) and let it steep for 7–10 minutes so the spices can fully release their aroma. For a creamier version, simmer the blend directly in milk or a plant-based drink.

Flavour & aroma

This chai spice blend combines the warming depth of cinnamon, cloves and ginger with the gentle sweetness of fennel, liquorice root and anise. Cardamom adds a fresh note and rounds off the flavour beautifully. Steeping or gently simmering releases the full aromatic profile of the spices.

Do you need black tea for chai?

Black tea is not essential for chai. However, it forms the traditional base of masala chai and carries the spicy and sweet notes very well. Strong teas like Ceylon or Assam pair especially nicely with this blend.

For a caffeine-free version, simply prepare it with water, milk or a plant-based drink. This gives you a mild chai that’s perfect for relaxed moments – even in the evening.
