Black Tea Chai Blend with Coconut and Lemongrass

This succulent chai blend is a delightful dance of creamy coconut and playful lemongrass, highlighted by the rich flavor of black tea. 

The aroma is intoxicating, drawing you in and beckoning you to take a sip.

Brew a cup of this chai and be transported to a tropical paradise. The coconut flavor is sweet and creamy, while the lemongrass adds a bright, citrusy note. 

The black tea provides a deep, earthy foundation that balances out the sweetness and acidity of the other ingredients.

This chai is perfect for enjoying on a cold day or when you need a pick-me-up. It's also delicious iced on a hot summer day.

Brewing Instructions:

Add two heaping teaspoons of chai blend to an 8-ounce cup. Pour hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, or to your desired strength. Strain the tea and add sugar, cream, or coconut milk to taste.

Enjoy!

Tips:

• For a stronger chai flavor, use more tea leaves or steep the tea for a longer period of time.

• For a more mellow chai flavor, use less tea leaves or steep the tea for a shorter period of time.

• You can also add other spices to your chai blend, such as ginger, cinnamon, or cloves.

• For a vegan chai, use coconut milk instead of cow's milk.

• To make iced chai, brew the tea as usual and then pour it over ice. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious chai latte.

Ingredients

Thai chai is a delicious and unique tea blend that combines the flavors of black tea, cinnamon, ginger, coconut, cardamom, lemongrass, and natural coconut flavor. 

It is a popular drink in Thailand, where it is often served iced with sweetened condensed milk.

Lore:

Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia with a rich history and culture. Thai cuisine is known for its bold flavors and use of fresh ingredients. 

Thai chai is a reflection of this, combining the flavors of traditional Thai spices with the comforting warmth of black tea.

Thai chai is often enjoyed as a social beverage, and is often served at gatherings and celebrations. It is also a popular drink to enjoy on a hot day, as the iced version is refreshing and hydrating.

My own thoughts:

I love the flavors of Thai chai. The coconut and lemongrass give it a unique tropical flavor that is both refreshing and comforting. 

I also appreciate that it is made with natural ingredients, and that it is a good source of antioxidants.

I think Thai chai is a great drink to enjoy any time of day, but I especially love it on a cold morning or a hot afternoon. 

It is the perfect way to warm up or cool down, and it always puts me in a good mood
