It Came Back Like This.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything you love about chai — the cinnamon, the ginger, the cardamom — but with coconut and lemongrass showing up and making things interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThai Chai is a cold brew iced tea that starts warm and spiced and finishes bright and smooth. It's a little bolder than your usual chai, a little more tropical, and a lot easier to make than it sounds. Drop a pod in cold water before bed. Wake up to something that tastes like it took actual effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFlavor Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm cinnamon and ginger up front. Cardamom through the middle. Coconut and bright lemongrass on the finish. Full-bodied black tea underneath all of it, keeping everything grounded. Spicier than classic chai. Smoother than you'd expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Leaf\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pouch contains: black tea, cinnamon, ginger, coconut, lemongrass, cardamom, and natural coconut flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack tea base means this one has real caffeine — solid morning or afternoon territory. Not a wind-down tea. A get-moving tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes in a box of 4 pouches, 10 grams each. Each pouch makes one quart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSteeping Cheat Sheet\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Brew (Recommended):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pouch + 1 quart of cold water. Into the fridge overnight — or at least 6–8 hours. Pull the pouch, pour over ice, done. The spices bloom slowly in cold water and the result is smooth, not sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot Steep:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pouch in 32 oz of water just off boil. Steep 4–5 minutes. Spice-forward and warming — great in cooler weather or if iced tea just isn't your thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo fancy gear required.\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-contained pouches mean no strainer, no infuser, no fuss. A pitcher or mason jar is all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHot vs. Iced\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIced \/ Cold Brew:\u003c\/strong\u003e What it was built for. Cold brewing softens the spice edges and lets the coconut and lemongrass come through clearly. Smooth and full-bodied without any bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicier and more chai-forward. The cinnamon and ginger really show up when it's hot. Solid if that's your vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe move:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold brew over ice with a splash of coconut milk and a touch of sweetener. Creamy, spiced, tropical. A Thai iced chai that costs about 40 cents to make at home instead of $7 at a café.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does cold brew keep in the fridge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3–4 days in a sealed container. It won't make it that long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of sweetener works best?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimple syrup mixes in cleanly when it's iced. Honey works great hot. Or skip it — the coconut adds a natural smoothness that makes it less sharp than traditional chai unsweetened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use oat milk instead of coconut milk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Oat milk is creamy and mild enough that it doesn't fight the spices. Coconut milk leans into the tropical angle. Both work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this caffeinated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — black tea base, so real caffeine. This is a Brain Fuel tea, not a wind-down tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I make a bigger batch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — 2 pouches per half-gallon, same overnight steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this spicy-spicy or just warm-spicy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm-spicy. The ginger has some presence but this isn't going to sneak up on you. It's bold, not aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Java Momma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43053080674371,"sku":"JMT0396","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/1640\/5315\/files\/thai_chai_corrected.png?v=1775003594","url":"https:\/\/javamomma.com\/products\/thai-chai-cold-brew-pods","provider":"Java Momma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
