Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • immersion blender
  • fine mesh sieve

Ingredients
  

Homemade Chai Concentrate

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 bags black tea bags (like English breakfast) or 4 grams of loose-leaf tea leaves
  • 2 whole cloves or ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 TB pure maple syrup or honey

Chai Latte

  • ½ cup homemade chai tea concentrate
  • ¾ cup whole milk or dairy-free milk coconut milk, cashew milk, almond milk, oat milk
  • 1 TB pure maple syrup or honey
  • pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Homemade Chai Concentrate

  • In a small saucepan, bring the water and spices to a boil. Whisk the spices in the water. Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat and allow the spices to steep in the water for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, turn the heat back on and add the black tea bags and maple syrup. Return to a slight boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Steep the tea bags in the water and spices for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the tea bags and strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer. Reserve ½ cup of chai concentrate to make a latte right now. Store the remaining chai concentrate in a jar in the fridge up to 2 weeks.

Make a Chai Latte

  • In a small saucepan, bring the milk, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon to a slight boil, stirring often. Once the sides of the milk begin to bubble, remove the pan from heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the milk until it's frothy. Alternatively, use a fork to vigorously whisk and froth the milk.
  • Pour ½ cup chai concentrate into a mug. Slowly pour in the frothed milk. Sprinkle the top with an extra pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Double or triple the chai concentrate recipe for daily routine or iced chai lattes. Store concentrate for up to 2 weeks. Reheat as needed.
