Bondi Chai

There is nothing better than receiving snail mail :)  Especially when there's something yummy inside!
I just couldn't wait to rip this open and have a look.

I adore chai latte, the smell, the aroma and the break from what ever you're supposed to be doing.

I tried the cinnamon one first. Problem was that I was a little stressed out and didn't read the pack properly, even though it says very clearly "just add milk"  I just added hot water. Oops. I was really looking forward to it too! (I was also debating whether to put this up here or not...Hahaha But we all make mistakes after a long day) I tried to fix it by adding some milk...  It wasn't terrible. It just wasn't so good either.

I certainly wasn't going to make that mistake again! The next day I tried the vanilla and honey with milk. It was much nicer than I expected! I'm usually much more of a spicy chai lady than a vanilla chai lady. But yum! The aroma and taste were devine. The only problem is, there wasn't enough of it!

At the time of writing, they also have a competition to win a year's supply of chai lattes. All details can be found by follow the link below.

 Pros:
It dissolved straight away in the warm milk and didn't leave any undissolved residue at the bottom of my mug

Made with real tea

Gluten free

Low in caffeine

Less than 1g of fat

The sugar content is apparently no higher than white tea with a teaspoon of sugar
It's Australian made and owned

Cons:

You want more than one mug :p

Ingredients:
Vanilla honey-sugar, whey powder, skim milk, black tea extract (3%), honey powder, flavours, natural colour (caramel III) ginger.

Club cinnamon - sugar, whey powder, skim milk, black tea extract (3%), honey powder, flavours, natural colour (caramel III) ginger, star anise.

 

Conclusion:

I think I'm actually going to switch. Looking at the list of ingredients on my previous chai it includes sodium caseinate, emulsifiers and anticaking agents, which I can tell you now did absolutely nothing! I have to scrape the powder off the bottom of the tin unless I want it to come off in a big chunk into my milk :(

Totally switching to a much easier (and seemingly healthier) way of getting my delicious chai hit.
