Boost your tea business with Chai

Tis the season for spicy chai.  If you own a tea business you know that customers are paying big bucks for warm spicy chai.  Selling a few cups a day can help your bottom line BUT many chai mixes are expensive.  Here are some simple ways to make chai in your home or in your shop. 

There are literally dozens of chai recipes.  Here are a few to get you inspired.  The first features a sugar free option for making traditional chai with stevia.  Now, I have tested a lot of stevia options.  In my opinion the best ever is from NuStevia.

You can get it at www.Nustevia.com  I use it every day!

 

 

Another fun recipe for chai recipe with a hip Indian twist.  This is a great recipe to experiment with.

 

Need a recipe to just print out and use?  Here are two of my favorite chai tea recipes.  Test it out at home and then make and sell "homemade chai" in your shop.  Your customers will love you.
