Have you ever heard for the term “dirty chai”? Searching for different chai latte recipes, accidently we found out this phrase. Dirty chai is a combination of black tea, a mixture of spices, milk and espresso. In fact, it is ideal for those who do not prefer the pure taste of coffee, but drink it in company and only with a lot of milk inside.

Dirty chai will provide you with an increased dose of caffeine because both black tea and coffee contain caffeine. For all of you who need something to wake you up, and yet in a sweet variant. For summer months, iced version of dirty chai is better solution!
