Choose a non-dairy milk that has some fat, it'll help to cut through the spices and create a well rounded flavor profile. We suggest one of these:
-
soy milk
-
almond milk
-
oat milk
Yes! Natural sweeteners can be a great alternative to white sugar.
-
honey
-
maple syrup
-
agave
-
Too strong
Add a splash of milk and repeat until the color lightens.
-
Too weak
Boil for 2-3 minutes more or add a pinch more of the Kolkata Chai blend.
