Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1 cup boiling water (or temperature directed by your tea)
Milk & Sweetener
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey (or substitute raw sugar or agave for a vegan option)
Optional Toppings
- Cinnamon, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Place the chai tea bag into a large mug and pour in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, or follow the steeping time recommended on your tea packaging to achieve the perfect strength.
- Froth the Milk: While the tea steeps, pour 1/3 cup of almond milk or your preferred milk into a frother. Froth the milk according to your device’s instructions until creamy and slightly aerated.
- Combine and Sweeten: Remove the tea bag from the mug and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or your chosen sweetener until well dissolved.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the frothed milk into the mug with the steeped chai tea, gently mixing to combine the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the latte for added aroma and spice. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your healthy chai tea latte.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as oat, soy, or whole milk.
- For a vegan version, use agave syrup or raw sugar instead of honey.
- Steeping time may vary depending on the chai tea brand; adjust steeping to your preferred strength.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, you can heat the milk on the stove and whisk vigorously to create some foam.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg enhances the flavor and aroma of the latte.
