Dona Chai Masala Chai Concentrate — 32 fl oz (2×16 oz) Small-Batch, Whole Spices & Cold-Pressed Ginger

Made in Brooklyn from ingredients selected and ground fresh for each batch, this 32 fl oz pack (two 16 fl oz bottles) puts a café-quality masala chai within easy reach of your kitchen. The concentrate features organic loose-leaf black tea and a layered spice profile—cinnamon bark, cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns, vanilla bean and cold-pressed ginger—formulated to deliver consistent flavor whether you heat it up or pour it over ice. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and designed to simplify making chai-based drinks and recipes.

How is Dona's concentrate different from powdered or syrupy chai mixes?

Dona relies on whole spices that are freshly ground for each batch and a slow-brew method instead of concentrates loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, or powdered extracts. Cold-pressed ginger preserves a brighter, fresher root character, and the loose-leaf black tea gives body without grit. The result is a balanced, aromatic chai that reads as crafted rather than overly sweetened.

• Small-batch brewing for consistent flavor and quality control
• Whole spices ground fresh, not pre-mixed powders
• Cold-pressed ginger preserves brightness and freshness
• Organic loose-leaf black tea provides full-bodied base

How do I prepare hot or iced drinks with the concentrate?

Preparation is straightforward: dilute the concentrate with milk or a milk alternative for a hot latte, or with cold milk and ice for an iced chai. Adjust the ratio to taste; many users prefer equal parts concentrate and milk for a rich latte, or one part concentrate to two parts milk for a lighter iced drink. Reheat gently—avoid boiling to keep spice notes bright.

• Hot chai latte: 1:1 concentrate to milk, warmed gently
• Iced chai: 1:2 concentrate to cold milk, served over ice
• Dairy-free options: almond, oat, or soy milk blend well
• Store opened bottles refrigerated and use within recommended time

What flavors should I expect and how can I customize them?

Dona’s chai is layered and aromatic: cinnamon and cardamom provide warmth, cloves and peppercorns add depth and a slight bite, vanilla brings softness, and cold-pressed ginger keeps a fresh, zesty finish. You can highlight different notes by changing the milk, sweetener, or brewing ratio. Additions like frothed milk, a dash of turmeric, or a touch of honey will shift the profile without overwhelming the original blend.

• Creamier milks emphasize vanilla and cinnamon
• Stronger concentrate ratios emphasize black tea and pepper notes
• Honey or maple rounds edges; citrus zest brightens the finish
• Use in cocktails, baking, or oatmeal for chai-infused recipes

How does the packaging and sourcing support quality?

Each bottle houses a concentrate brewed in small batches so flavor and freshness are monitored at every step. Single-origin spices and a cold-pressing technique for ginger reduce oxidation and retain more of the raw spice character. Clear labeling and recyclable bottles make storage and portioning simple for home or professional use.

• Pack of two 16 fl oz bottles equals 32 fl oz total
• Small-batch production supports consistent taste
• Cold-pressed ginger slows oxidation and preserves flavor
• Proudly brewed and bottled in Brooklyn with vegan, gluten-free formulation

Who is this for? Dona Original Masala Chai Concentrate is aimed at home baristas, busy people who want café-style chai without the preparation fuss, and cooks who want an easy way to fold authentic chai flavor into drinks and recipes. It’s suited to vegans and those avoiding gluten, anyone who values small-batch, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and those who enjoy both hot and iced chai with customizable strength and sweetness.
