3 Unique and Delicious Ways You Can Use Chai In Your Diet

Big fan of chai? We wouldn’t be surprised if you were. Chai is delicious, soothing, and incredibly healthy, and it’s easily available these days.

Having said that, you can make your chai habit even more enjoyable by using the tea in different ways. We’re not talking about the chai latte recipes you see on YouTube, which are admittedly great but not exactly what we’d consider unique. Instead, we’re going to take things to the next level and show you just how versatile chai can be.

A Little Background to Get You Inspired

Before we proceed, however, we’d like to talk a bit more about this ground tea product so you have a better idea of its culinary possibilities.

Chai is a type of black tea that originated from India. It can be drunk alone or with milk, but it can also be infused with “warm” flavors such as ginger, cinnamon, fennel, and cardamom. These ingredients are what make the tea so comforting, and they’re also what inspired the recipes that we’ll share below.

• ½ cup of coconut milk
• ½ cup of soy or almond milk

Procedure

1. Mix all the ingredients together, apart from the bread, in a shallow dish.
2. Apply cooking spray to the bottom of a non-stick skillet and place it over medium heat.
3. Take a slice of bread, dip each side into the mixture, and transfer it to the hot skillet Cooke it for about 4 minutes on each side, and then transfer it to a serving plate once golden brown. Repeat this for all the remaining slices of bread.
4. Top the slices with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vegan butter if you have some on hand. Dig in and enjoy while they’re still warm.
