What's in a chai tea blend? It all depends on where you're from and who's family recipe you're working with.
Avni Soma of Vastu Chai in Canmore, Alberta welcomes us into her kitchen to get a better understanding of this delicious, hot and spicy tea treat. We discovered that chai tea has about a million variations but she shared a few insight into what goes into her family recipe and why.
You don't have to be Oprah to make the perfect blend, you just have to know what you like. It all starts with the basics - black tea and spices - and then it's all about your personal taste. Watch this video to get a few ideas on what to try.
Thanks to Avni for introducing us to her family recipe. Check out what to do with that blend with this video: youtu.be/6C9v5fc5kiw
