So, I’ve got to tell you about this awesome experiment I tried – a Dirty Chai Latte. The idea came from one of you (shoutout to my Instagram fam!), and it got me thinking: what if I mix up my cozy masala chai with a bold coffee kick? I grabbed my V60 pour-over and just went with my instincts, playing around with the coffee, tea, and those beautiful masala spices. It felt a bit like a kitchen science experiment, but guess what? It worked!
The result was this amazing Dirty Chai Latte – it's like the best of both worlds. It’s got that energizing coffee punch but with the soothing, spiced vibes of chai. Perfect for those mornings when you can't decide between a coffee or a chai, or for those evenings when you’re in the mood for something special. Trust me, give this one a try; it’s a game-changer!

Directions:
Please visit my "Masala Chai Latte" page for the recipe.
I am using a V60 to brew my coffee.
You can check out James Hoffman's detailed guide here.
Lightly wash the coffee paper filter with boiling water.
Discard the water.
Add ground coffee, tea leaves and chai masala into the center of the filter.
Bloom the mixture with 90g of boiling water.
Sit for 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds, pour the remaining 270g of boiling water.
While the coffee is dripping, froth some milk.
Once the coffee has finished dripping, pour it into a serving cup to about 3/4 way full.
Followed by the frothed milk.
Serve immediately.
Cheers!
