Bundaberg Yoga
Power of Awareness
A fragrant, rich and deeply comforting mug of steaming chai is one of life’s simple pleasures.
I have been making and drinking chai for more than 20 years using a spice and tea blend family recipe that has evolved into a distinctly Bundaberg blend called Lonnie’s Chai (thanks Bunda Ginga).
I grind whole organic spices freshly for each batch for maximum flavour and aroma.
The ritual of making chai is part of the pleasure - all the senses are involved. Taking a little time to stop and stir something in a pan as the flavours start to speak to each other is a daily meditation.

Lonnie’s Chai is on the espresso menu at Indulge Cafe, Bundaberg (Brisbane Times Good Food Guide 2016 People’s Choice)
It is also available to buy at Nana’s Pantry and at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery gift shop.
Chilled Chai (Iced Chai) (1-1.5 cups)
1. Place 1 heaped teaspoon of Lonnie’s Chai mix in a jug. Add 1 teaspoon honey and a grating of fresh ginger.
2. Cover with boiling water and infuse for 2 minutes.
3. Top up with 250mls cold milk (soy, cow’s, almond, coconut, macadamia, zymil) and stir.
4. Strain into a tall glass pre-prepared with lots of ice and a scoop of ice-cream (check dairy tolerance if using alternative milk). Lonnie’s home chai tip: make your own frozen “Chai-ce’’ blocks with cold chai and add to glass.
OR make a Chilled Black Iced Chai by topping up with chilled water instead of milk at Step 3 and serve over ice with a fine lemon segment, mint, diced lychee, or fresh lemon grass (let the imagination fly!) Or brew in all water and chill in a jug in the fridge ready to serve.
