  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.
  2. Add milk and sweetener: Pour in the milk and add honey or maple syrup. Stir and heat until steaming but not boiling.
  3. Strain (if needed): If you used loose tea, strain the mixture into a mug to remove tea leaves and spice solids.
  4. Finish: Stir in vanilla extract if desired. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  5. 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! ☕✨
