印度香料茶拿铁 Chai Latte

最近迷上印度香料茶拿铁,周末到咖啡座喝茶时都喜欢点这奶茶。暂时我试过了两家咖啡座的玛萨拉香料奶茶拿铁,两家的奶茶都不错,各有各的特色,不过几乎每个周末都去喝茶,点两杯饮料加一块蛋糕至少都要RM60,真的很高消费,继续下去真的有点吃不消。所以我就买了罐好茶,再加上一些香料,然后在家自己学煮印度香料茶拿铁。


印度香料茶拿铁的做法和传统的玛萨拉香料奶茶有一些不一样,之前曾煮了好几次玛萨拉香料奶茶,可是都未能达到自己满意的味道,所以就换了个食谱。这个食谱多数是用香料粉,所以香料味道会比较浓些,比较合我心意。香料茶的底茶通常用味道较浓烈的红茶,如阿萨姆红茶Assam,不过刚好没买到所以就用大吉岭红茶Darjeeling Tea来煮茶。今天的午餐就是一杯印度香料茶拿铁再加上比利时窝夫和一些新鲜的草莓,简单可是却很有满足感。

2. After 5 minutes, turn the heat back on and add the tea leaves and sugar. Return to a slight boil (the goal is a hot liquid for steeping). Once boiling, turn off the heat.

Store the rest of the chai tea in the fridge up to two weeks for freshness.
