Chai Tea Latte Recipe Milk Frother

While we commonly know chai as a “flavor” of tea, it actually translates to the word “tea” in Hindi. The idea of a milky tea is common in the United Kingdom, and after the British colonization of India, it wasn’t too long before Indians made their own version of a sweet and milky black tea, with the addition of spices. And that my friends is where

Similar to my chai spiced coconut milk, this creamy black tea is infused with the best warming spices. But the best part is that it’s quite customizable. Want it spicier? Add a bit more ginger. Looking for a more tea-like flavor? Add in an extra tea bag! However you tweak it, keep comfort and peacefulness in mind – because that’s what a chai latte is all about.

Since the base of chai is black tea, it’s best to use a strong and robust type such as Assam or Darjeeling. As for tea bags vs. tea leaves… either one will work! I’m using tea bags for this specific recipe out of convenience, because that’s what I normally have on hand.

But in general, loose leaf teas will produce a much more full-bodied tea. Just be sure to look for smaller leaves that are partially broken. They’ll infuse much easier when simmering in the pot.

Traditionally, whole spices are simmered in the pot. But I’m keeping this recipe simple with ground spices for those who don’t have direct access to the latter. Fret not though, because the results are still a deliciously spice latte!

As you let the black tea simmer with the milk in the pot, brew 2 shots of espresso. Then pour one shot into each mug. Once you’ve finished making the chai latte, pour it over the espresso shots and give it a stir before drinking.

If it’s a warm day and you’d like a refreshing iced chai, all you need to do is prep two cups with ice cubes. After you’ve made the recipe as is, just pour the chai latte over the ice and give it a stir.

If you’re just one person, save the 2nd half to enjoy later! Store any leftover chai latte in a sealed cup in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy, you can pop it in the microwave or warm it up on the stovetop.

Nothing’s better than snuggling up with a warm beverage in your favorite mug. From lattes to nourishing teas – these are great options to keep in rotation.

I think the word chai can sometimes deter people away. They immediately think strong spiced tea with black peppercorns and tons of sugar.

The chai concentrates you buy at grocery stores can sometimes be terrible tasting so people get the wrong idea of how delicious it can be.

I love a good dirty chai latte, however the version at Starbucks has an alarming amount of sugar in it. It’s absolutely delicious which is why it’s such a popular drink, but contains way too many grams of sugar.

By making a homemade version you can make it with way less sugar and it tastes exactly the same. Say goodbye to grande Starbucks chai tea lattes and hello to your amazing homemade version!

Black tea infused with cinnamon, clove and other warming spices is combined with steamed milk and topped with foam for the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. It’s similar to a latte but instead of a shot of espresso you are using a black tea concentrate instead.

Depending on the amount of sugar or cane sugar that is added will determine whether or not it’s very healthy. There are many health benefits in this drink, however with too much sugar it can quickly become and unhealthy drink.

There is also much less caffeine in a tea vs coffee, so if reducing caffeine is a goal of yours this would be a great option.

There are a few different ways to froth the milk for this recipe. It’s very important you choose one, as the drink will not be the same without it.

Yes, you can make this recipe into the Starbucks iced chai latte. Follow all the recipe directions to make your homemade concentrate, fill a glass with ice cubes and concentrate then top with your favorite milk.

I still prefer the hot version, however the cold version is much better for the warmer months when you don’t want hot drinks. You can also add vanilla syrup or vanilla extract to give it more of a vanilla flavor!

I have used a plant-based milk as well as regular whole milk and it does alter the latte taste depending on which milk you end up choosing.
