Chai tea lattes are seriously my favorite part of the weather getting colder. Ok, well dirty chai tea lattes are (aka a chai tea latte with an espresso shot added). I decided it was finally time to perfect a chai tea latte, and after many failed attempts, I finally got it!
What ingredients do I need to make this?
- Milk of choice
- Chai tea bag
- Sweetener of choice (sugar, honey, etc)
- Water
- Optional for topping: cinnamon or chai spice mix
What milk should I use?
Whatever you prefer or have on hand! I’ve made this recipe with oat milk and almond milk. I prefer oat milk, but both were great!
What sweetener should I use?
Again, whatever you like or have on hand! I’ve used granulated sugar and honey and both are great!
