Judah Newman

A cozy, hot chai-latte-style breakfast drink made entirely in the Thermomix: you steep loose-leaf chai directly in milk, then blend in ripe banana for natural sweetness and a creamy, filling texture. It drinks like a latte but has a smoothie-like body, with warm spices and no added sugar. Great for chilly mornings when you want something comforting and quick, and you can strain it for a clean cup or leave it a little rustic for more spice intensity.

Ingredients

250 g ripe banana (about 2 medium), peeled and sliced
500 g milk of choice (I’m assuming 2% dairy milk; let me know if you’re using oat/almond/soy and I’ll tune steep strength)
6 g loose-leaf chai (about 2 tsp)
2 g vanilla extract (about 1/2 tsp), optional
1 pinch fine salt
Optional: 5 g butter or coconut oil for extra richness (skip if you want it lighter)

Instructions

Steep the chai

Add the milk and loose-leaf chai to the Thermomix bowl. Heat 8 min/90°C/speed 1. You want it steaming and fragrant, not violently boiling.

Let it steep in the closed bowl 5 min. The aroma should be strongly spicy-tea-forward.

Strain (for a smooth latte)

Strain through the Thermomix simmering basket set over a bowl, or through a fine mesh strainer. Rinse the bowl quickly.

Blend hot (carefully)

Return the strained chai milk to the bowl. Add banana, vanilla (if using), salt, and butter/oil (if using).

Blend 30 sec/speed 4, then 30 sec/speed 8, ramping up gradually. Keep the measuring cup off and use the splash guard/basket on top so steam can vent. The drink should look silky with light foam and smell like banana-bread-meets-chai.

Reheat and serve

Reheat 2–4 min/75°C/speed 2 until it’s hot to the touch and lightly steaming (taste carefully). Pour into mugs and serve right away.

Tip: If you like it “stronger chai,” increase tea to 8 g or extend steeping to 8–10 min. If it ever tastes bitter/astringent, reduce steep time first (not milk heat).

Notes

Texture control: For a thinner, more latte-like sip, add 100 g more milk and reheat to 75°C. For a thicker, smoothie-like drink, use 300 g milk total or add 30 g rolled oats and blend an extra 20 seconds.

Make-ahead: You can steep and strain the chai milk up to 3 days ahead, then blend with banana and reheat when ready.

No added sugar: This relies on ripe banana for sweetness. If your bananas aren’t very ripe, add 1–2 soft dates (pitted) instead of any syrup.

Safety note: When blending hot liquids in the Thermomix, always ramp the speed gradually and allow steam to vent (measuring cup off, splash guard/basket in place).
