OUR GO-TO CHAI RECIPES FROM OUR LOCAL AMBASSADORS

Get to Know Our Ambassadors & Their Delicious Recipes

The great thing about being a small, local business is that we really get to know the people within our community. As we’ve been around since 2002, meeting both old and new chai-sipping friends never gets old. It’s because of these meaningful relationships that paved the way for our first ambassador program that we launched towards the end of last year. 

We were lucky enough to onboard 6 like-minded individuals around Australia as our first-ever ambassadors and partner with them to grow our Calmer Community and create some delicious recipes using your favourite Calmer Sutra Tea products. 

Here’s a round-up of a few of their recipes that we can’t wait for you to try…

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon Hiranya Chai Infused Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Chai Sprinkles

  • Top with whatever your heart desires - e.g. berries, jam and honey

METHOD

  1. Mix almond milk, chai honey and chai sprinkles together in a shallow bowl
  2. Heat your oiled pan to medium heat
  3. Dip bread slices in the batter, coating completely
  4. Place on pan and cook until golden brown on both sides
  5. Add toppings. Enjoy!

Chai Smoothie

Just because it’s hot outside, doesn’t mean you have to miss your daily cuppa chai! Stephanie is not only our ambassador, she is a Naturopath and Nutritionist at one of our incredible stockists, Willow Urban Retreat. Stephanie created a Chai Summer Smoothie using our Chai Baking Spice that’s so filling and flavourful you won’t even know (or care) that you’re drinking cauliflower! Rich in plant protein, essential fatty acids and fibre, this smoothie is amazing for boosting energy, digestive health, glowing skin and hormone balancing.

  • 1 handful of frozen cauliflower (steamed first then frozen)
  • 1.5 cups of almond/coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of collagen powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Maca powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Chai Baking Spice
  • 1 tablespoons of vanilla bean coconut yoghurt 
  • 1 tablespoon of ABC spread (almond, Brazil nut, cashew butter)
  • 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed

METHOD

  • Pour ingredients into a blender and away you go!
