The Mountain Chai Elixir - A Rich & Energizing Chaga Chai Butter Tea Recipe

Inspired by the fortifying butter teas of the Himalayas, this Chaga Chai Po-Ti is a profoundly nourishing elixir designed to provide sustained energy and warmth from the inside out.

We’ve blended the spicy, aromatic notes of classic chai tea with the rich, creamy texture of grass-fed ghee, creating a truly satisfying brew. The addition of our Wild-Harvested Chaga Concentrate infuses this timeless recipe with a deep, earthy foundation and a host of adaptogenic benefits. It's the same concentrate our community loves for making a classic Chaga Chai Latte, but here it’s used to create an even richer functional powerhouse.

This is the perfect elixir to fuel a busy morning, warm up after a long day, or simply center your mind with a satisfying ritual.

How to Make a Chaga Chai Po-Ti

1. Combine: In a milk frother or a small saucepan, combine the chaga concentrate, prepared chai tea, and ghee.
