Notes
Chai Butter:
To make your own chai butter add 1 cup of organic butter to a small saucepan and melt over a low heat. Add 2 tbsp of Camler Sutra Fresh Chai, 1-2 tbsp of chai loose leaf tea or 2 opened teabags to the butter and stir gently until butter darkens in colour. Strain butter mixture into a small bowl and continue with your favourite recipe or allow to set for a chai-flavoured butter spread.
