Ingredients
- 2 cup unsweetened almond milk any kind of milk works
- 2 black tea bags chai tea also works
- 2 teaspoons homemade chai spice
- 1- 2 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
- optional: 2 shots espresso to make it dirty
Instructions
- Place almond milk, tea bags, maple syrup, and chai spices into a small sauce pan and whisk.
- Next, bring to a boil over medium/high heat and immediately remove from heat.
- Let the tea seep for at least 3 minutes or longer if you would like it stronger.
- Remove tea bags and pour the whole mixture through a fine sieve into a mug (if you don't have a sieve just be sure to not pour the sediment at the bottom of the pot into the mug).
- If drinking hot, serve immediately. If you'd like an iced chai tea latte, let the mixture cool for around 10 minutes. Then, pour it over a large glass of ice.
Tips & Notes
- Recipe method was updated on October 19th, 2020.
- We tested this recipe with both black tea and chai tea. Both were wonderful. The chai tea definitely had a more intense flavor.
- Iced instructions: Looking to drink an iced chai tea latte? Simply let the mixture cool for around 10-15 minutes. Then, serve it over ice. It's as easy as that!
- If your homemade chai tea latte recipe is gritty, it's probably because the chai spices settled at the bottom of your cup. This is why we used a fine sieve to remove the sediment so that there is no grittiness.
- Feel free to use any kind of milk for this recipe.
