Had this again today. Steeped for 10 minutes in 96ish water + vanilla soy. I found it weak. So I boiled more water, topped off the cup and steeped another 10 minutes. It still was not overly satisfying. Perhaps I was too heavy on the milk?

What was you leaf to water ratio? I usually use 1 tsp per 8oz of water and steep for 5 mins.
I didn’t measure, but filled the teaball, so I’d say at least 1 tsp in probably 10oz.
sounds like the right brewing parameters to me. perhaps try simmering it in the soy-water on the stove loose for 5 mins and pour through a strainer… it’s quite delicious done that way.
if your looking to make a soy-latte, only use 1/2 as much water so it brews concentrated. that’s how we prepare our chai in the tea house.
I’ll definitely try that next! Until now I’ve been making it at my office desk, which limits what I can do. But I am not ready to call it quits on this tea yet!
