customize your cup

Here are three simple hacks I swear by to amp up your homemade chai. Experiment with spice blends, milk variations, and sweetness levels to craft a cup that reflects your unique taste. Enjoy the journey of discovery and savor every sip!

-Ayan Sanyal

Co-Founder of Kolkata Chai

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.

Delicious aroma and flavors. Will never be able to drink a syrup flavored chai commercial concoction again. You’ll be spoiled in the best way possible!
