  • If drinking hot, serve immediately. If you'd like an iced chai tea latte, let the mixture cool for around 10 minutes. Then, pour it over a large glass of ice.

Notes

  • Recipe method was updated on October 19th, 2020. 
  • We tested this recipe with both black tea and chai tea. Both were wonderful. The chai tea definitely had a more intense flavor.
  • Iced instructions: Looking to drink an iced chai tea latte? Simply let the mixture cool for around 10-15 minutes. Then, serve it over ice. It's as easy as that! 
  • If your homemade chai tea latte recipe is gritty, it's probably because the chai spices settled at the bottom of your cup. This is why we used a fine sieve to remove the sediment so that there is no grittiness.
  • Feel free to use any kind of milk for this recipe.
