Prana Chai Granola
We have so many Chai recipes on here now, but working with Prana Chai recently was the perfect opportunity to investigate the 'real' original sticky chai.
As their website states; Chai is a deliciously sweet and spicy brew made with black tea, aromatic spices, and milk. Originally from India, this irresistible concoction has swept across the world to become a fierce rival of coffees and hot chocolates.
Chai is usually steeped in warm milk. In India, it’s traditionally buffalo milk. But of course in OZ, we usually brew it with cow's milk, and soy, almond, rice, and coconut milk make great alternatives too. A chai latte then, is just a chai really. (Latte means milk after all.)
The Prana Chai mix is sticky, fragrant and irresistable. We think you should chai it!
