Chai Latte Instructions
To make a chai latte, simply combine 1-2 teaspoons of the DIY chai latte mix with hot milk.
You will get the best result if you whisk the milk thoroughly with the spices so the coconut sugar dissolves and the spices get stirred through the milk properly. Suggestions:(1) whisk chai powder with the milk in a saucepan over the stove, or (2) dissolve the chai mix in a little hot water, and then add to a milk frother (e.g. Nespresso milk frother) together with cold milk and blend them together, or(3) add chai powder and warmed milk to a blender and process until frothy.
Notes

You can also increase the cloves by 1 extra teaspoon. (2) 1-2 tbsp of turmeric for a golden chai. (3) 2-3 tbsp of cacao for a chocolate chai.
