Chai Latte
Skip the queues at your local coffee shop and whip up a chai latte at home instead. Simple to make with just three ingredients, it's easy to be your own barista!
Servings: 2 drinks
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups hot water
- 2 black tea bags (I used TAZO organic Chai tea bags)
- 1.5 cups milk divided
- 3 Tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Brew the tea: Steep 2 chai tea bags in 1 ½ cups of hot water for 5 minutes. After steeping, remove the tea bags and divide the chai tea evenly between two cups.
- Warm the milk: In a medium pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it simmers. Once it simmers, turn off the heat and set aside ½ cup of the milk.
- Assemble the Chai Tea Latte: Pour ½ cup of the warm milk into each mug with the tea. Adjust the amount to your taste. Add maple syrup or your preferred sweetener, if using, and stir to combine.
- Froth the milk: Pour the reserved ½ cup of milk into a tall glass. Tilt the glass slightly and use a milk frother, moving it up and down, to create foam.
- Top with milk foam: Top each mug with milk foam and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon and cardamom for garnish.
- Serve: Enjoy your chai latte hot or serve over ice for a refreshing iced version.
