The Australiano Ingredients

The Australiano is a combination of chai latte and espresso coffee. What makes it Australian? There’s some wattleseed powder in it. Just in case you didn’t know, wattleseed powder is made from ground up Australian acacia tree seeds, which are a common bush tucker ingredient. Although more commonly used to make bush bread like damper, a pinch of wattleseed in the chai spices is adds a certain something to the flavour. This is the full Australiano (full cream milk version) ingredient list:
