Method

 

  1. Brew the chai base: In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil. Add tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Reduce heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

    Add milk and sweetener: Pour in the milk and add honey or maple syrup. Stir and heat until steaming but not boiling.

    Finish: Stir in vanilla extract if desired. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    Serve: Enjoy your warm and aromatic Chai Tea Latte immediately!

Notes

  • For an Iced Chai Latte, cool the tea mixture and pour it over ice with cold milk.

  • Adjust spice levels to your taste — add more cinnamon for warmth or ginger for a stronger kick.

  • Use chai tea bags for convenience — just simmer with milk and sweetener.

  • For a frothy café-style latte, froth the milk before mixing.

  • Try adding espresso for a “Dirty Chai Latte” twist! ☕✨
