Chai latte ingredients

Method

Chai latte directions

  1. 1

    In a small saucepan, combine water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and fresh ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to release the spices.

  2. 2

    Turn off heat and add loose black tea leaves. Cover and steep for 4 minutes, then strain to remove solids, creating a smooth chai concentrate.

  3. 3

    Return the strained chai concentrate to the saucepan. Stir in honey and vanilla extract, adjusting sweetness to taste. Keep warm.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan or with a milk frother until steaming and lightly frothy.

  5. 5

    For two servings, combine 1/2 cup chai concentrate with 1/2 cup steamed milk in each mug. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.

  6. 6

    Dust the tops with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon just before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chai latte.
