Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons loose chai tea or 2 chai tea bags
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of loose chai tea or 2 chai tea bags.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- If using loose tea, strain it out after simmering. If using tea bags, simply remove them from the saucepan.
- In another saucepan, pour in 2 cups of your chosen milk.
- Heat the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Heat until hot but not boiling.
- Once warm, add in the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom. Stir well to combine and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour the prepared chai tea into the saucepan with the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Heat the combined mixture for another minute or two, ensuring it is warm and well blended without boiling.
- Using a ladle, pour the latte into your favorite mugs.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
- Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to your taste; add more ginger for a spicier kick or experiment with nutmeg or cloves.
- For an iced version, let the chai and milk cool before serving over ice.
