Equipment
- Handheld milk frother, optional
Ingredients
- ¼ cup filtered water
- 2 chai tea bags
- 2 teaspoons (8g) granulated sugar * plus more to taste
- ½ cup milk any percentage
- ⅓ cup strongly brewed coffee
- Cinnamon or cinnamon sugar optional for topping
Instructions
- In the microwave or on a small pot on the stove, bring water to a boil. Pour water into on 8-ounce mug. Add tea bags and steep for 5 minutes.
- While your tea bags steep, heat milk to steaming. Whisk vigorously or use a handheld milk frother to foam the milk.
- Once steeped, discard tea bags and stir in sugar until completely dissolved.
- Pour most of the milk into the chai mixture, using a spoon if needed to hold back the foam. Add coffee or shot of espresso. Stir, and add more sugar if needed.
- Pour the last of the milk and the foam over the top of the latte. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*If you like a less-sweet latte, start with 1 teaspoon sugar and add more to taste.
This recipe makes a 1-cup (8-ounce) latte. If you want to fill an oversized cup, double the recipe.
