📖 Instructions

1. Grind the Flax Seed: If using whole flax seeds, grind them using a coffee grinder or a high-speed blender until they form a fine powder. Pre-ground flaxseed meal also works great! Aim for a tablespoon per serving for optimal benefits. The consistency should be similar to that of flour.
2. Brew the Chai: You can use either chai tea bags or loose-leaf chai. If using tea bags, steep them in 1/2 cup of hot water for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to fully infuse. For loose-leaf, use a tea infuser and follow the package instructions. Don't over steep, or it might get bitter!
3. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the brewed chai, ground flax seed, milk (dairy or non-dairy), and sweetener of your choice. I like to use about a cup of milk per serving, but adjust to your preference. Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until it's smooth and frothy. This step is crucial for incorporating the flax seed and creating a creamy texture. If you're using a regular blender, you might need to blend for a bit longer to ensure everything is well combined. Check for clumps.
5. Heat and Serve: Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Be careful not to boil it! Alternatively, you can microwave it for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once heated, pour into your favorite mug and enjoy! It's okay if there are still a few clumps.
6. Optional: Froth it Up: For an extra luxurious experience, use a milk frother to create a thick, creamy foam. Pour the frothed milk over your chai latte and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey. It's like having a coffee shop treat in the comfort of your own home!
