Description
A delicious and comforting drink combining warm spices of chai tea with creamy milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Boil Water: Start by bringing 1/2 cup (120ml) of fresh water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
- Steep Tea: Place the chai tea bag in a heat-proof mug and carefully pour the hot water over it, ensuring it is fully submerged.
- Infuse Flavors: Let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be.
- Heat Milk: While the tea is steeping, pour 1 cup (240ml) of almond milk into the same saucepan. Heat the milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it is steaming but not boiling.
- Froth Milk: Whisk the warm milk vigorously for about 30 seconds to create a light froth.
- Remove Tea Bag: Once the tea has steeped, remove the chai tea bag from the mug, gently squeezing out excess liquid.
- Combine: Pour the warm, frothed milk into the mug with the concentrated chai tea.
- Add Sweetener: Add 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener to taste and stir well until fully dissolved.
- Serve: Give the chai latte a final stir and serve immediately. You can sprinkle a small pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra touch.
