CRAFTED ON YOUR STOVE, POURED IN YOUR CUP
Learn how to brew an authentic, velvety cup of Fly Chai at home using whole botanicals, bold Assam tea, and traditional Gud. Watch the quick single-cup breakdown below (or scale up the liquids to 1 cup water and 1 cup milk for our standard 2-cup bag recipe).
01. The Foundation
The Blueprint: Add 1 cup (8 oz) of water and 1 cup (8 oz) of milk directly to your saucepan on the stove.
The Vibe: Equal parts milk and water. This balanced base gives authentic chai its velvety body without feeling heavy.
02. The Goods
The Blueprint: Add 1 tbsp of your favorite Fly Chai loose-leaf blend.
The Vibe: Real granular Assam black tea and whole crushed botanicals hitting the liquid together—zero powders, zero artificial shortcuts.
03. The Steep
The Blueprint: Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then lower the flame and simmer for 3–5 minutes.
The Vibe: Don't rush the pot. This steady simmer binds the bold tea tannins and spice oils directly into the milk.
04. The Sweetener
The Blueprint: Stir in traditional Gud to taste while the pot is warm until fully dissolved.
The Vibe: Pure Gud melts in smooth, bringing warm toffee-caramel depth that rounds out the spice heat.
05. The Drop
The Blueprint: Strain through a fine-mesh strainer directly into your cups.
The Vibe: Sip slow, feel the heat, and savor the ritual. You just crafted real chai.
Brewing just for yourself? Simply halve the liquid to 4 oz water and 4 oz milk while keeping 1 TBSP of blend.
"I built this kit because real chai should not be limited to our café. It should be something families can make, share, and pass down. This is the same spirit that lived around my mother's chai pot—now packed for your kitchen."
