Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 black tea bags or English breakfast tea
  • 1-2 Tbsp. maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon ground
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg ground
  • ⅛ tsp. ginger ground
  • 1 pinch cloves ground
  • 1 cup milk regular, or plant-based

Instructions

To Make the Chai Concentrate:

  • Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags, sweetener, and spices. Whisk together and let steep for 5-10 minutes.
  • Store the sweetener in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours for an iced latte or serve immediately for a hot latte.

To Make a Hot Chai Latte:

  • Pour the chai concentrate into a 16-ounce mug.
  • Foam milk using a milk frother and then pour into the mug. (If you don’t have a milk frother, you can also heat up the milk on the stovetop or in the microwave.)
  • Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top and enjoy!

To Make an Iced Chai Latte:

  • Pour the chai concentrate into a 16-ounce glass with ice. Add the milk, stir to combine, and enjoy!

Notes

*Oat milk and 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup were used when calculating the nutrition information.

Meal Prep and Storage

  • How to prep ahead of time: The concentrate will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. For an iced latte, simply take it out of the fridge. For a hot latte, warm it up before adding to the mug.
  • How to store: After the milk is added, it's best to drink up within a couple of hours. You can store the concentrate in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • How to freeze: It is not recommended to freeze this concentrate.
