Black Chai Blend by Dove Chocolate Discoveries
Instant chai latte mix.
Ingredients: sugar, nonfat milk, non-dairy creamer (coconut oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate, sodium citrate, mono- and diglycerides, salt, sodium aluminosilicate), tea powder blend (black tea, darjeeling), honey granules (sucrose, honey), spice blend (cinnamon, clove, cardamon, anise, ginger), natural and artificial flavors, silicone dioxide (anti-caking agent), vegetable gums (carrageenan, guar gum), bourbon vanilla extract from Madagascar.
Oh wow, this is making me nostalgic. I swear, this is the taste that introduced me to chai. It’s overly sweet, creamy, spicy but with no real kick, and there’s virtually no black tea flavor… but I LOVE it. If coffee shop chai lattes were your introduction to chai, you will probably love it too.
Thanks, Jaime!
Note: despite the company name, there is no actual chocolate involved here. Also, this gets rather gritty at the bottom since the black tea dust doesn’t actually dissolve.
Like the last one I made this up with half milk and half hot water to give the tea a creamier flavour. It’s surprisingly mild for a “spiced” chai, I think on the whole I might prefer something with a little bit more of a bite to it. On the other hand it’s not too obnoxiously sweet either. So not bad all around – their one might make a nice iced chai latte if I had another pouch to experiment with (which sadly I don’t).
