Your opinion on Chai?

[R154]

Hey Guys,

Other than straight out of your Nana's kettle, where may I find the most flavorful & sweet Chai?

Would prefer a place that has seating area, but not necessary.

TIA!

Try the Coup on 9th st 17ave s.w not sure if still open. The flood killed me maybe them too.

Thanks Friend!

I think you can buy the syrup at costco by the flat.

Cost 20 cents to make, sell it to white girls for 5 bucks.

Profit!

I should just open a stand in my office, tons of common white girls here. Ill just undercut the Starbucks downstairs by 10 cents!

That is an odd thing to say, Dumbass.

If you're ever in YEG, Remedy makes the best chai hands down.

Is chai just tea with milk or is it something special because ive had chai at starbucks and it tastes odd.

[killramos]

No its a type of real tea, what Starbucks serves is a "chai latte" ( which is the milk part) which is made from a syrup there.


Masala chai (/tʃaɪ/; Hindi: मसाला चाय, literally "mixed-spice tea"; Urdu: مصالحہ چائے‎; Nepali: मसलेदार चिया; Bengali: মসলা চা Marathi: चहा a flavoured tea beverage made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs. Originating in India,[1][2][3] the beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and tea houses.

Starbucks does actually sell chai tea ( tea bags) as well ( or at least they used to) but what everyone gets is the syrup concrentrate with steamed milk.

Meh, i think i'll stick to my english breakfast.

[R154]

Yeah, Its an Indian thing. Basically English breakfast or Any Black Tea + Clove, Cardamom, Ginger, Cinnamon, and either fennel seed or star anise.

If you make it properly, its absolutely stunning. But generally speak unless its fresh, it just isn't very good.

Maybe Analog coffee??

Went to the coup.

Wonderful little place.

Thanks Cancer Man.

The guy in Eau Claire makes his own Chai and it's pretty damn good in a white girl latte form. I actually think The Roasterie may have the best chai latter to be honest. They do use a tea bag.

[R154]

Its hard to be snobby about a drink that is so diverse. There is no "proper" way to make it. Pretty much however you like it, that is the way it should be made. I had what I thought to be authentic chai in Jaipur, but it was completely different in bombay. Regional.

Ps, white girl latte versions are fantastic haha. I'm on board with white girls. If they like it, I'll try to like it.
