Golden Chai Mix for Turmeric Chai Latte
Description
Golden Chai Mix for Turmeric Chai Latte combines turmeric powder with ground cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, ginger, and optionally saffron strands. The powder blend is mixed together and stored in an airtight container for up to three months. To make the turmeric chai latte, a small portion of the mix is heated with non-dairy milk and sweetener until nearly boiling, then combined with additional warmed milk to finish. The latte can be strained before serving and optionally topped with whipped coconut cream. Variations include adding black tea leaves or a tea bag for a traditional chai element. For a chilled drink, the mix is heated briefly then blended with cold milk and ice. A golden chai shake is made similarly but with more blending for frothiness. This mix allows consistent preparation of turmeric chai beverages with balanced spice and warmth.
