Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Black tea bags. I found a spiced chai tea that I love, and I also love this one. Or you can use Asaam tea.
Spices. I played around with the ratios to make what I consider the perfect chai latte. You can adjust them to your tastes. You can also add black pepper - which I did not prefer in this recipe but it is often included in spiced tea!
Honey. adjust the amount to your tastes, you can use sugar in place of honey.
Whole milk. Choose your favorite milk. I prefer whole or 2%. Non-dairy milk like coconut milk is also a great choice.

Storing a Large Batch

You can multiply this recipe, make a large batch of the spiced tea, store it in the refrigerator. Then you'll just need to warm it up and add the frothed milk when you want a chai latte. You could even make an iced latte with the stored chai concentrate.
