Ingredients
1 organic chai tea bag
1/2 cup (120ml) water
1 cup (240ml) almond milk (or milk of choice)
1–2 teaspoons (5-10g) sweetener of choice (honey, agave or raw sugar)
Instructions
- Bring 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fresh water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
- Place the chai tea bag in a heat-proof mug and carefully pour the hot water over it, making sure it is fully submerged.
- Let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes (longer for a stronger flavor).
- While the tea is steeping, pour 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk (or your preferred milk) into the same saucepan.
- Heat the milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming but not boiling.
- Whisk the warm milk vigorously for about 30 seconds to create a light froth.
- Remove the chai tea bag from the mug, gently squeezing out excess liquid.
- Pour the warm, frothed milk into the mug with the concentrated chai tea.
- Add 1–2 teaspoons of sweetener (honey, agave, or sugar) to taste and stir well until fully dissolved.
- Give the chai latte a final stir and serve immediately.
- Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
Notes
For a stronger flavor, steep the chai tea bag for an additional 2-3 minutes.
To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and a vegan sweetener like agave or raw sugar.
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your personal preference.
For an iced version, prepare the tea concentrate, let it cool, then combine with cold milk and ice.
