FAQs

Can I make this as a milk chai?

Yes. The CTC base is built for strength, so it stands up to milk without the saffron being lost.

How strong is the saffron flavour?

It is a delicate, floral note rather than a dominant one. Longer steeping brings it forward.

Does it need sugar?

Not necessarily. Saffron carries a natural sweetness, though a little sweetener does lift it if you are drinking it with milk.
