What is Chai, and Why Add Sea Moss?
Masala chai is a classic spiced tea drink from India, made by brewing black tea with a blend of warming spices. In Hindi, “chai” means “tea,” so “masala chai” translates to “mixed-spice tea.”
Adding sea moss gel to chai takes this traditional drink to the next level. Sea moss, a natural superfood, provides over 90 essential minerals, including iodine, calcium, and potassium. At Conscious Moss, our sea moss gel is made fresh, natural, and free from preservatives, making it a perfect addition to warm winter beverages for a nutrient boost.
How to Make a Sea Moss Chai Latte from Scratch
To make this chai latte with Conscious Moss sea moss, you’ll need quality spices, black tea, and a jar of our signature sea moss gel. Follow these steps for a deliciously creamy, spiced chai with all the benefits of sea moss.
1. Use a Robust Black Tea
For authentic flavour, Indian black tea like Assam is best for chai. Its bold, full-bodied flavour holds up well with the spices and sea moss.
2. Choose Whole Spices
For the richest taste, use whole spices whenever possible. Fresh cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and ginger bring out the full aroma of chai. Whole spices make a significant difference in depth of flavor.
3. Add Sea Moss for a Nutrient Boost
A teaspoon of Conscious Moss sea moss gel stirred into the chai not only adds a smooth texture but also provides vitamins and minerals that support health and wellness.
