Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai Tea Latte

Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai Tea Latte: A Taste of India According to legend, an Indian king first introduced chai to his royal courts around 5,000 years ago. Originally, chai was used as cleansing tonic meant to alleviate a number of ailments.

The ancients, it turns out, were onto something. The antioxidants found naturally in black tea have been shown in some studies to help fight cancers, lower cholesterol, reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and lower blood pressure. These same studies suggest antioxidants are useful in preventing heart diseases and strokes while possibly boosting your immune system. When blended with ginger, chai can ward off colds, soothe the digestive and respiratory systems, and can even prevent motion sickness. Cinnamon can work as a stimulant to other herbs, enabling them to work faster.

Chai gradually became a popular recreational beverage. Recipes for chai (which derives from “cha”, the Chinese word for tea) change depending on the region and manner in which it is being served. Typically, however, chai is comprised of loose black tea leaves that are boiled with milk, water, and either honey or “Masala” sugar. There is a version, called Kashmiri chai, which is brewed with gunpowder tea (green tea where each leaf is rolled into a tiny pellet that resembles the gunpowder used in cannons).

Almost all chai–especially Masala Chai–is spiced with a unique combination of cinnamon, black pepper, anise, cloves, cardamom and ginger. It is also often prepared with almonds, saffron, vanilla, carob, and even licorice. In India, chai is brewed in huge kettles over small charcoal fires. The drink – which is served more frequently than even coffee – is then served in containers that are smashed afterwards. It is the unglazed aspect to the pots that provide an earthy flavor to the chai.

With the advent of the neighborhood coffeehouse trend, chai’s popularity continues to rise as more people come to appreciate its unique aroma and flavor. Caffe D’Vita’s Enchanted Chai Tea Latte provides a comforting blend of exotic teas, spices and milk that can be enjoyed anytime. Serve it hot, iced, or blended for the perfect premium Chai Frappe or it can be added to baked goods like muffins and cakes.

At Caffe D’Vita, you can pick between either classic spiced chai or vanilla chai. Each is delicious and can be purchased in either a two pound venpak bag (12 pounds total) or in single serve envelopes.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie Recipe

/in , , /by

By Kara Mae Adamo

Walking briskly through the streets, you can smell it. The cinnamon brooms hung on doors – the smell of freshly brewed cappuccino and coffee. Leaves are just on the brink of changing – building up to their brilliant, fiery crescendo of light and color before the winter’s end. Brisk autumn wind has begun swirling through in the mornings and at night. Daylight is charmed with bright blue skies and light jackets.

Among the many images of fall, pumpkins rein king. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soups, pumpkin ales and even pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin raviolis have shown up in restaurants and coffee houses from coast to coast. Served hot or cold, in dinner, desserts, or drinks, the spicy sweetness of pumpkin can be found everywhere. A North American native, the pumpkin has been an integral part of the holiday tradition for centuries.

Celebrate the season with Caffe D’Vita’s delicious recipe for a “Pumpkin Delight” smoothie. Made with their premium Vanilla Base Cream Smoothie, this recipe will be sure to delight the senses of everyone. Not to be outdone, for a warm and tasty treat you might also try Caffe D’Vita’s Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie

Ingredients:

Crushed Ice

Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix

Pumpkin Pie Filling

Half and Half

Water

Cinnamon

Whipped Cream

Directions:

Pour 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix into a blender. Add the ½ cup of Pumpkin Pie filling, 2 ounces of Half & Half, and 2 ounces of water. Add the ice and blend. Take a 16 ounce glass and fill it with ice. Add that amount of ice to the blender and blend everything on low, then on high, and then on “pulse.” Check the consistency. It should be smooth; not too thick and not too watery. Pour the Pumpkin Delight drink into a glass and top it with whipped cream. Garnish it with cloves or cinnamon.

Make A Delicious Caramel Latte Blended Iced Coffeehouse Drink At Home

/1 Comment/in , /by

The blended iced caramel latte is probably the most popular frozen beverage served in coffee houses and cafes all over the United States. Here is a recipe you can make at home with Caffe D’Vita’s Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix

Caramel Latte Blended Iced Coffeehouse Beverage Recipe

Makes 1 – 12oz beverage
Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh Espresso or brewed coffee, cold or room temperature
  • 1/3 cup milk (low-fat or non-fat milk foams up better than whole milk, you can also use soy milk)
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Caffe D’Vita Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix
  • 2/3 glass of crushed ice

    Optional

  • Caramel syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Straw

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. You don’t need a commercial blender.
  2. Blend using low speed then high speed to the consistency of “mud”. If you get “stuck”, use your “pulse control” and add more liquid
  3. Pour into glass and add syrup and whipped cream to taste

Getting the right combination of ingredients and the right consistency takes a little practice but soon you will be making these drinks and all of their variations for friends and family.

Want to cut the calories? Forgo the extra caramel, whipped cream and use non-fat milk or just water. Also, keep an eye on portion size. A 120z. portion should be enough to satisfy most home users although coffee houses serve 12, 16 and 24 oz. versions. Cost difference between homemade and coffee house versions might be as much as a $3.50 savings per drink!
