Chai Latte

This is an incredibly delicious and incredibly SIMPLE recipe for a chai latte! If you liked my Pumpkin Spice Latte, you're sure you love this one!
What you'll need:
Espresso 
Milk
Chai concentrate
Whipped cream (optional)
Cinnamon (optional)

Brew your espresso in your machine and steam your milk. I like to nuke my milk in the microwave so the steaming process goes a little quicker. To your milk add 1/4-3/8 of a cup of chai concentrate. This is the kind I used, I found it down the tea aisle.
Add your espresso and taste. Add more chai if needed. The chai concentrate is incredibly sweet, so you shouldn't need any additional sweetener.
Top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired. Enjoy!

  1. I LOVE this stuff.
    It's making my current plain honey/lemon tea pretty weak in comparison!

  3. It's super sweet! I somehow figured out how to use the chai tea bags and make it taste the same- but I have to add like 3-4 tablespoons of honey to ONE cup of heated milk to make it taste like chai.

    It's cheaper that way, but you totally know how much sugar you put into your body doing it like that. lol.

    This is great! I like your blog Katy!

  6. YUM! I so want to try this but I don't have an espresso maker and I'm getting married soon so I refuse to buy anything that can be put on my registry :) Right now I make chai with a tea bag,about 1 Tbsp each of honey, vanilla syrup (like Torani) and milk. It's my new favorite but your way sounds much better!!! :)
