How to Make Chai Latte

Chill 1/3 cup (80ml) of the evaporated milk in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until very cold.
In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup (160ml) evaporated milk, 2 cups (480ml) water, 2 black tea bags (or 1.5 tsp loose leaf chai tea), and 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste).
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture simmers. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the tea to steep.
In a separate bowl, beat the chilled 1/3 cup (80ml) evaporated milk with 1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until thick and frothy. Use a whisk or milk frother for best results.
Remove tea bags from the saucepan and gently strain the chai mixture into warmed mugs.
Spoon the frothy milk mixture over the top of each chai latte.
Sprinkle with a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg and chocolate shavings (optional).
