Ingredients
Scale
Chai Latte Concentrate
- 2 - 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 chai tea bags
Milk
- 2 cups milk of choice
Instructions
- Make the chai latte concentrate: Add the honey and spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom) to a heat-proof jar or measuring cup. Pour in the boiling water and whisk until the honey is fully dissolved. Add the chai tea bags and steep for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Store or use immediately: If you are not drinking the chai latte right away, allow the concentrate to cool completely, then cover and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- Heat and froth the milk: When ready to serve, warm the milk on the stovetop until it begins to simmer. For a frothy texture, use a milk frother to froth 1 cup of milk at a time.
- Assemble the chai latte: Divide the warmed or frothed milk evenly between two mugs. Top each with 1 cup of the chai concentrate. Stir gently and enjoy your homemade chai latte.
Notes
- Use honey or maple syrup according to your sweetness preference.
- Steeping the tea bags longer intensifies the chai flavor.
- Milk options include dairy or plant-based alternatives for varied diets.
- A milk frother enhances texture but warming on the stovetop works perfectly fine.
- Store concentrate in the fridge for up to 3 days for quick chai lattes any time.
