Sometimes, that craving for a Chai Tea Latte is strong, but the hefty price tag has you hesitating. The answer: make this copycat, homemade recipe! In just 10 easy minutes, you can be enjoying the warm spices and that frothy milk foam that make this drink the best, all without a trip to Starbucks.
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags, sweetener, and spices. Whisk together and let steep for 5-10 minutes.
Store the sweetener in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the concentrate has cooled completely.
Pour the chai concentrate into a 16-ounce glass with ice. Add the milk, frothed if desired, stir to combine, and enjoy!
