Once you know how to make a turmeric latte this way, it takes under five minutes. For café-style foam, blend it for 10 seconds or use a handheld frother.

It can if you boil them together, so timing matters. Jaggery for tea works best when you stir it in after the chai comes off the heat, rather than boiling it with the milk. Our Madhur Jaggery comes ground, so it dissolves quickly in a hot cup with a quick stir. Start with 1 teaspoon per cup, then add more if you like a sweeter, more caramel-like finish.
