Ingredients
- 1 black tea bag or chai tea
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the milk & vanilla. In a small saucepan, warm the milk on the stovetop over medium heat and slowly whisk in the vanilla extract until it just begins to bubble.
- Whisk in dry ingredients. If using loose leaf, add the black tea, chai spices and coconut sugar to the saucepan, whisking continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the spice blend and sugar is dissolved and the milk is hot. If you are using black tea bags, first mix the chai spices & coconut sugar together in the sauce pan, then add the tea bags to steep.
- Steep the tea. Remove from the heat & allow the chai tea mix to steep for another 2-3 minutes.
- Strain & enjoy. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the chai tea into a heat proof glass or a mug. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this hot chai latte extra foamy, warm an additional ¼ cup of milk and froth using a handheld frother. Pour the steamed milk overtop of the chai tea and sprinkle with additional chai spices.
- If you're a coffee lover, make this a dirty chai by adding a shot of espresso.
- Make it an iced chai latte by allowing the hot milk mixture to chill in the fridge in a mason jar or other heat proof glass. Once chilled, serve in a glass over ice. You can also make this an iced dirty chai latte by adding a shot of chilled espresso.
