Tips and Techniques
- If making iced chai, use two tea bags and allow the tea to cool before pouring over ice.
- You can make your own chai tea using this recipe for Chai Spice with a black tea bag
- Be sure to give your can of coconut milk a really good shake before opening it or pour it into a bowl and whisk it.
- You can make this recipe with a sugar substitute like stevia.
- Store extra coconut milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake or whisk before using it again as coconut milk naturally separates and solidifies.
