No Steamwand- No Problem!

If you are looking for a foamier option for your chai latte, you can try out a few methods in your home with a variety of equipment.

Mason Jar: try gently heating your milk on the stove (no hotter than 160°F, as it may cause injury any higher). Add milk to the mason jar (with enough room for milk to expand) and shake until frothy. Complete your chai concentrate with this foamy milk!

Mini blender:  gently heat your milk and chai on the stove (no hotter than 160°F, as it may cause injury any higher). Add milk to the blender and place lid on securely, ensuring there is enough room for the milk to expand. Be very cautious with warm milk in a blender, as it can splatter when opened.

Electric Whisk: gently heat your milk  and chai on the stove to desired temperature. Add mixture to a jar or vessel and create froth with the electric whisk. Pour into your favorite, pre-heated mug and enjoy!
