Why is Chai Tea Perfect for Autumn?

A typical blend of Chai usually contains spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom which have delightful warming properties. As the temperature starts to decrease and "hygge" season kicks in, it's only natural that we start reaching for a blend of tea that just tastes well, cosy! 

During Autumn we are also more likely to reach for foods that are a little more filling. These filling foods often pair well with a cosy cup of chai rather than a refreshing iced tea or fruit tea. 

It is also delightfully easy to customise Chai to become a more decadent cup of warmth than some other, more summery teas. You might find yourself reaching for extra honey, pumpkin puree, flavoured syrups or a cheeky squirt of whipped cream for the ultimate treat!

The Best Chai Recipes You’ll Love

Here at TeaLife, we pride ourselves on being the tea experts which is why we have put together a list of some of our favourite Autumn Chai recipes we know you will adore! Each recipe is aimed at bringing a warm, snuggly feeling that will make you want to curl up with a cup of Chai and watch cheesy movies all night long!

Cheeky Chocolate Chai

In our experience, the only thing that improves chocolate is more chocolate. If you are really in the mood for a hug in a mug with a little something extra, try this recipe! It will get you through the chilliest nights and it uses a Tim Tam, what could be better? 

1. Add ½ mug boiling water per person to a pot, about 140ml.
2. Next, add 15g of Chocolate Edition Chai per person.
3. Place on a low simmer for 5 minutes or so, boiling too fast is said to spoil the taste.
4. Add 140 ml milk to your chai.
5. Increase heat until you can see steam.
6. Strain and add a dollop of whipped cream and a Tim Tam for the ultimate treat! 

Pro tip: Bite each end off of the Tim Tam and use it as a straw to enjoy your Chocolate Chai!

Spicy Turmeric Chai

If you love your organic tea with a spicy kick then grab our Turmeric Chai blend! We love reaching for this tea when the weather is really chilly outside as the turmeric helps to kick things up a notch on the cosy front! 

1. Add ½ mug boiling water per person to pot, about 140ml.
2. Next, add 15g of chai per person.
3. Place onto a low simmer for 5 minutes or so, if you boil your chai too quickly it will spoil the taste.
4. Add about 140ml of milk to your chai.
5. Carefully increase the heat until you can see steam.
6. Finally, strain and add honey for taste. 

Pro tip: Add an extra sprinkle of turmeric or cinnamon if you like spicey tea!
