This chai tea latte is a Starbucks copycat that’s warm and comforting. t’s paleo and vegan but can easily be made traditionally as well.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water boiling
  • 1 chai tea bag
  • 1/4 teaspoon chai spice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (I used cashew)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup to taste

Instructions

  • Place the boiling water in a small bowl with the chai tea bag and chai spice. Allow the chai concentrate to steep for 10 minutes.
    1/4 cup (60 ml) water, 1 chai tea bag, 1/4 teaspoon chai spice
  • Carefully squeeze the tea bag (be careful as it'll be hot) to extract all of its flavors, and whisk the chai concentrate to ensure the spices are fully combined.
  • Warm the milk and maple syrup (either in the microwave or a small pot over medium heat on the stove) just until it begins to steam. For dairy milk, the best temperature for frothing is 140-155 °F (60-68 °C) and for plant-based milk, it's 150 °F (65 °C).
    1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Froth the milk using your favorite method – a handheld frother, a wand, in the blender, etc.
  • Add the chai concentrate to your mug and top with frothed milk. Garnish with a sprinkle of chai spice and enjoy immediately.
