Is it safe to add spice or mint leaves?Updated 3 months ago

Yes, you can add fresh ginger, mint leaves, and other whole spices along with your tea leaves. With larger quantities of fresh ginger, some users find it necessary to first bring the ginger with the tea and spices to a boil with the water, and measure only before adding the milk. The Chai Maker works well for this, so long as the water measure is sufficient to submerge the ginger at the base of the basket. This step prevents the ginger from curdling the milk.

The Loka Chai Maker is designed to give you the flexibility to prepare chai the way you enjoy it most, whether that’s with traditional masala blends or your custom mix of spices. 

You’re not limited to any specific type of blend, so feel free to get creative and explore your ideal cup!
