EASY CHAI LATTE



Easy Chai Latte image

Let's just say, this chai latte is the perfect mug of fresh brewed black tea, warming spices, a hint of sweetness, and extra frothy milk.

Provided by Lisa Bryan

Categories     Drinks

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups milk (dairy or dairy-free)
2 black tea bags
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

Steps:

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to simmer, turn off the heat and add the tea bags (I snip any labels off the tea bags so they can fully immerse). Let the tea steep for 4 to 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags with a slotted spoon.
  • Turn the heat back up to medium heat, and add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk everything together, until the chai tea is hot.
  • Pour the tea into mugs and if you'd like, top with extra milk foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

CINNAMON CHAI LATTE



Cinnamon Chai Latte image

We don't have this chai latte mix in Australia but I was lucky enough to be given some in a swap and decided to check out the General Foods website and came across this recipe. Cool Whip is also not an Australian grocery line so I just topped mine off with some dairy whip (whipped cream in a can for non Aussie chefs)

4 teaspoons sugar-free chai latte mix (General Foods)
1 cinnamon sticks or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon thawed Cool Whip Topping or 1 tablespoon whipped cream
3/4 cup scalded milk

Steps:

  • PLACE flavored drink mix, cinnamon stick and whipped topping in mug.

Tips:

  • Use freshly-ground spices. Whole spices can be used to make a chai tea concentrate, but freshly-ground spices will give your latte a more intense flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different milks. Whole milk will give you the creamiest latte, but you can also use skim milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Experiment with your favorites!
  • Sweeten your latte to taste. The amount of sugar or honey you add is up to you. If you're using a flavored milk, you may not need to add any sweetener at all.
  • Garnish your latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. This will add a touch of extra flavor and make your latte look even more inviting.
  • Serve your latte immediately. Chai lattes are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

An aromatic, soothing, and utterly delicious way to warm up from the inside out, a homemade cinnamon chai latte is the perfect drink to enjoy on a chilly day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a latte that's just as good as (or even better than) the ones you'd get at a coffee shop. So next time you're craving a warm and comforting drink, give this cinnamon chai latte recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
