How to Make Chai Tea Latte

  1. **Brew the Chai:** If using tea bags, steep in 1/2 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. If using concentrate, skip this step.
  2. **Combine Ingredients:** In a microwave-safe mug or small saucepan, combine the brewed chai (or concentrate), milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar (or honey), and optional spices.
  3. **Heat Gently:** Heat the mixture in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring between) or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently, until warmed to your desired temperature. Do not boil.
  4. **Froth (Optional):** For extra creaminess, froth the latte using a milk frother (handheld electric or manual).
  5. **Pour & Enjoy:** Pour your delicious homemade chai tea latte into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately!
