A big star in coffee shops for several years now, chai latte has become a must-have. But do you know what chai latte actually is? Unlike café latte, chai latte is mainly made from black tea and frothed milk.
Originally, chai—which means "tea" in Hindi —was consumed as a medicinal remedy due to its many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to strengthen the immune system, relieve stomach aches, and aid digestion.
Inside, there's a whole host of spices: mainly cinnamon and ginger, but sometimes black pepper, cardamom, or even cloves. In fact, there are many different recipes, which vary according to the region, the creator, and the coffee shop where you enjoy it. Some emphasize ginger, others cinnamon; some even add honey and vanilla for even more indulgenceand comfort.
Chai latte, your best friend in winter! So, here are some great places to go!
