What is a Chai Latte<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chai<\/a> tea is a national drink of India, but is now popular all over the world. This spicy tea is popular in its latte version, with milk added during preparation for a sweeter, warmer drink that can be enjoyed hot or cold.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Little Bit of History<\/span><\/h3>\n

Originally from India, the word ‘chai’ means ‘tea<\/strong>‘ in Hindi. Chai was initially a plant remedy from Ayurvedic medicine<\/strong>, a traditional Hindu medicine dating\u00a0 back over 5,000 years. It was first made using only milk, herbs and spices. Tea was added later on, towards the XIX\u1d49 century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chai tea<\/strong> is made from black tea<\/strong> with various spices such as ginger<\/strong>, cardamom<\/strong>, cinnamon<\/strong>, star anise<\/strong>, fennel<\/strong>, black pepper<\/strong> and cloves<\/strong>. This blend of spices is known as chai massala, but you can also find chai teas with a blend of spices specific to each tea house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The chai latte<\/a> is a delicious blend of spiced black tea, sugar and hot milk. The original recipe is 50% milk and 50% water, but you can make your chai latte with only milk, for a smoother taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Chai Latte Benefits?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Chai tea is a unique blend of a wide variety of spices and plants, each with its own health benefits<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Its main benefit is to improve digestion, thanks to cardamom<\/strong> and ginger, which helps to ease digestion and soothe upset stomachs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloves<\/strong>, which possess antiseptic and analgesic properties, also relieve digestive discomforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ginger<\/strong>, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, improves intestinal transit, aids circulation and stimulates the immune system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Star anises<\/strong> also have anti-inflammatory properties, as does fennel<\/strong>, a real ally against respiratory tract inflammation and digestive troubles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Black tea<\/strong> is full of antioxidants thanks to the ‘long’ fermentation of the tea leaves. Its antioxidants fight free radicals in the body to protect against cell ageing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, black pepper<\/strong> provides antibacterial benefits to boost metabolisms.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Is The Perfect Time To Drink Your Chai Latte?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The vanilla chai latte<\/strong> is a beverage with a comforting aroma<\/strong> that is full of benefits for the body<\/strong>. It can be enjoyed at any time of day, but avoid drinking it in the evening if you are sensitive to caffeine or theine that can be found in black tea. Known for its invigorating effect, it is also ideal to start the day or after lunch<\/strong> thanks to its digestive effects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n
