Technique
The procedures this drink is built with. They are the technique, not this drink's own method.
Energy, derived from the ingredient list
Computed line by line against the source's own coefficient table. Nothing here is typed in.
- Standard flavoured syrup (60-65 °Bx) · 25 × 3.3 = 82.5 kcal
- Plain tea and herbal infusion · 0 kcal
- Whole milk 3.5% · 200 × 0.64 = 128 kcal
Derived total: ≈ 210 kcal
Caffeine, derived from the ingredient list
The derivation is incomplete: these lines name a caffeine carrier the source states no factor for, so no total is published - an understated safety figure is worse than none:
- Chai spice syrup 25 ml
- Concentrated black tea 30 ml
Allergens, as the source states them: `MILK`
Holding and food safety
These figures are the published guidance, not a house rule. Each carries its source.
- Chilled components: hold at or below 5 °C. The legal maximum is 8 °C.
- Once a chilled component is out of the fridge, it has 4 hours before it must be discarded.
Your local authority sets the requirement. Confirm these against it before service.
