Tips

Once you are comfortable brewing traditional chai, you can experiment. Want a little extra spiciness? Add a piece of fresh ginger or a couple extra peppercorns. Like a really strong chai? Allow to steep an extra minute or two.

Substitutes: For sugar substitutes, try maple syrup, agave or honey. For milk substitutes, try unsweetened oat milk, cashew milk or coconut milk.
