Ingredients
To make this chai latte at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 Tazo Chai Tea bags (classic or decaf)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of milk (any milk works, but whole milk or oat milk gives the creamiest texture)
- 1–2 tablespoons of honey or sweetener of your choice
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, but adds a delicious twist)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (for garnish)
- A dash of nutmeg or cardamom (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
- Brew The Tea:
Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and add your Tazo Chai Tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes to extract all the delicious spice flavors. - Heat The Milk:
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat while the tea steeps. If you want that frothy café-style finish, use a milk frother or whisk the milk as it warms. You’ll know it’s ready when small bubbles form around the edges, but don’t let it boil. - Sweeten It Up:
Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of honey (or any sweetener) into the warm milk. For a subtle flavor boost, add a splash of vanilla extract. - Mix Tea And Milk:
Remove the tea bags from the pot and pour the brewed chai tea into two mugs. Now, add the sweetened milk to each cup, stirring gently to mix everything together. - Garnish And Serve:
Top each chai latte with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. For an extra spicy kick, try adding a dash of cardamom or nutmeg if you are feeling daring.
Enjoy! Your homemade Tazo Chai Tea is ready to sip and savor.
Tips And Variations
- Milk Options: Want a dairy-free version? Swap out the regular milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk. Oat milk creates a creamy consistency that’s close to a traditional latte.
- Sweetness Levels: Adjust the sweetness according to your taste. Honey adds a lovely depth, but agave syrup or brown sugar also work great.
- Extra Spices: If you love a strong chai flavor, try adding more spices to your mix like cloves, black pepper, or even a ginger slice while brewing the tea.
- Storage: Got leftover chai? Store it in the fridge and reheat it later. Just whisk the milk again to bring back the froth!
Serving Suggestions
Pair your chai latte with some light snacks like shortbread cookies, biscotti, or even a slice of banana bread for a perfect treat.
If you want to make it feel even more indulgent, serve it in your favorite mug with a dash of whipped cream on top.
