Ingredients
Scale
Chai Latte Concentrate
- 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 Chai Concentrate: Add honey and spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom) to a heat-proof jar or measuring cup. Pour in boiling water and whisk until honey dissolves. Add chai tea bags and steep for at least 15 minutes to extract flavors.
- Store or Use: If not consuming immediately, let the concentrate cool completely, then refrigerate for up to 3 days. If ready to drink, proceed to warm the milk.
- Heat and Froth Milk: Warm milk on the stove until it starts simmering. If you have a milk frother, froth 1 cup of milk at a time to create a creamy texture.
- Assemble Latte: Divide the frothed milk evenly between two mugs, then pour 1 cup of chai concentrate over the milk in each mug. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve: Enjoy your warm, homemade chai latte immediately for the best taste and comfort.
Notes
- Use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to honey.
- Adjust spice amounts to taste for a milder or stronger chai flavor.
- The concentrate can be refrigerated for up to 3 days for quick preparation later.
- Warm milk carefully to avoid boiling over or scorching.
- Frothing milk enhances the texture and makes the latte more authentic and creamy.
