For a long time chai was confined to the Indian sub continent and people who have come into contact with its tea drinking culture. Today, thanks to large beverage chains, it has become increasingly popular. The appended word latte has even catapulted it to the trendy status.

Back in Malaysia, I do not remember having tasted masala chai. The popular tea drinks are teh tarik (pulled tea) and Teh Halia (Ginger Tea). These frothy condensed milk sweetened teas are a must try when you visit. Even if it is not the tea itself, a trip to the Indian coffee shop is well worth your effort. The sight of the vendor “pulling” your tea is something to behold.

I would love to be able to pull my own tea at home but the thought of cleaning up is not an incentive. Fortunately, technology has made it possible for those of us who are less skilled to enjoy a frothy cup of goodness. This handy battery powered frother is much less fun to watch but it certainly does the job. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The inspiration for today’s Coconut Chai Latte came from a recent visit to a fusion Indian restaurant here in Minneapolis. This creamy spice infused tea goes well with strongly flavored dishes and takes only minutes to prepare. All you need are some teabags, spices, sugar, and coconut milk. Do give it a try.
