Description

This chai latte is milk tea along with chai spices made with ground ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, etc. It takes just 5 minutes to make it at home so you don't have to drive to the store every time you need a delicious latte.

Ingredients 

Using chai spice mix (makes 1 cup)

  • 1 cup (240 ml) Milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Water
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Chai spice mix
  • 2 Tea bags

Without chai spice mix (makes 2 cups)

  • 2 cup (470 ml) Milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Water
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • 6 Tea bags
  • 4 slices Fresh ginger (1 inch) Optional
  • ½ teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon powder
  • ½ teaspoon Ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger sliced)
  • ¼ teaspoon Cloves powder
  • ¼ teaspoon White pepper powder

Instructions

Using chai spice mix

  • In a saucepan, combine milk, water, honey, chai spice, and tea bags.
  • Heat over medium heat until the milk is infused with the tea and the spices. Keep the heat on medium so you don't evaporate too much of the milk.
    Pro tip - You can also do this in a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat it until it is hot and bubbling.
  • Strain into a chai cup. Top with milk foam or cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Enjoy!

Using chai spices from scratch

  • In a saucepan, combine all ingredients, milk, water, honey, ginger, spices, and tea bags.
  • Heat over medium heat until the milk is infused with the tea and the spices. Keep the heat on medium so you don't evaporate too much of the milk.
    Pro tip - I prefer to do this on the stovetop, but you can also do this in a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat it until it is hot and bubbling.
  • Strain into two chai cups. Top with milk foam or cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Enjoy!
