Published 9/11/2021 • Updated 10/4/2023 There is truly nothing better than a warm and spicy chai tea latte on a cool fall day. We’ve been ordering them at local coffee shops with almond milk or oat milk and they are just so yummy. Chai tea lattes are traditionally made with black tea, but we tested this recipe with both black tea and chai tea bags and you can use either. The quick instructions: Simply whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, and chai spices in a small pot. Add the tea bags and bring to a boil. Let seep for around 3 minutes.
Chai Tea Latte Ingredients
Milk– you can use whatever milk you would like. We prefer non-dairy milks such as oat milk for a hot latte and almond milk for an iced latte. Soy milk would work, too! Black or Chai Tea Bags- you’re more than welcome to use a plain black tea bag becuase a lot of the flavor comes from the chai spice mix. However, you can also use a pre-made chai tea. Chai tea brands vary in flavor, spice, and sweetness. Make sure you find a chai tea bag that aligns with your pallet. Chai Spice– Our recipe calls for a chai spice blend and this is to add even more delicious warmth to your chai tea latte recipe. Maple Syrup– a little sweetness balances out the spice of the chai in this recipe. We love to use maple syrup or honey as a sweetener for this recipe. Espresso: espresso is optional, but when we order a chai tea latte at a coffee shop we like to make it dirty with a shot of espresso.
Chai Tea Latte Variations
Switch up the milk: we love oat milk or almond milk lattes, but you can use whatever kind of milk you wish. Switch up the tea: instead of a chai tea bag, feel free to use black or even an herbal tea bag. Add another flavor: if you’re a flavor-shot kind of person, feel free to add more sweetness with vanilla or even caramel. Make it iced: we love a god iced chai tea latte. Simply let the pot cool for 10-15 minutes and pour it over ice. Chai Spices
