How to Make Chai Latte
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 black tea bags (or 1.5 tsp loose leaf black tea) and steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove tea bags/strain loose leaf tea.
- Stir in 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and gently heat through. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and strain the spice mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs.
- Add sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar) to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Top with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick (optional) for an extra touch of elegance.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Chai Latte!
