HOMEMADE CHAI TEA LATTE
Are you a tea drinker?
I have always loved to drink tea, and even more now that I am pregnant.
It is the perfect pick-me-up and way to add a dash of flavor to your daily routine.
I love sitting down with a warm cup of tea in the morning, late afternoon or right before bed to calm myself down.
It really is the perfect drink at ay point in your day, especially if you pair it with a warm pumpkin muffin or a slice of bread.
What I also love is being able to make this drink at home. I control what goes in it and I can adjust it to my tastes.
You also can add a shot of espresso and make this a dirty chai latte.
I love making this Homemade Chai Tea Latte and sometimes this Instant Pot Chai Tea Latte.
Today I am partnering with Tazo Tea to bring you this Homemade Chai Tea Latte, using their Tazo Classic Chai Tea.
A homemade chai latte have always been my favorite during the colder months of the year.
Now that fall is upon us it will be a nice treat to enjoy while sitting in the backyard, enjoying the crisp fall air.
The nice thing about Tazo is the variety of teas that they offer.
There really is something for everyone at any point in the day.
The Zen tea is a harmonious blend of green tea with lemongrass & spearmint.
Awake English Breakfast is a breakfast-style black tea of malty boldness & bright flavor, invigorating any time of day.
Passion is an exuberant herbal infusion of hibiscus, orange peel, rose hips & passion fruit flavors.
I just love them all.

They focus their teas around taste, crafting them with exhilarating, unexpected flavor blends that delight the senses. With Tazo, you don’t just sip, you Sip Joyfully.

I love being able to make this chai latte recipe whenever I want, in the comfort of my own home. It has the most warming spices in it for the cold weather.
Since the baby will be arriving around September 30th I know I will need a good stock of teas to get me through those first few months of no sleep.

Would it be possible to use this recipe as a base for a chai tea concentrate?
I haven’t tried that but here is what I think you could do- just not totally sure!
That recipe already simmers black tea with warming spices which is basically what a concentrate is. To make it more “concentrate-style” for future use or batching I would use less water for a stronger brew.
For a concentrate use 2 or 2.5 cups water with maybe 4 tea bags to intensify the flavor.
2. Leave out the milk and sweetener (optional).
Concentrates are usually stored without milk so you can mix fresh each time.
Leave out sweeteners if you want more control when serving later.
3. Strain well and store in the fridge.
Let it cool, strain it, and store in an airtight container (mason jar or bottle) in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To use the concentrate: Mix 1 part concentrate to 1 part milk (or any ratio you like), heat and sweeten to tasteโor serve it iced!
Sounds yummy! Thanks so much!!
Yumm!! I love Chai. This homemade one looks amazing. When I want chai and don’t have a lot of time to make it, I like to use tea concentrates from https://www.tanglewoodbevco.com/
This looks so yummy! I absolutely love mornings. Just a little chill in the air, chai tea latte in hand, cookie for dunking. Perfection! Would definitely to buy all the ingredients and try out this recipe on weekend! Thanks for sharing.

Do you not strain the tea through anything first? How do you avoid ending up with really clumpy bits of spices?
I haven’t but you can! With the spices I use they are ground up and they always blend into the drink. Are you using ground spices?
I feel really stupid but I’m confused. If it’s 1 cup water and then you’re adding 3/4 cup of milk how is that 1 cup of chai latte. Even in the ingredients it says you can use 1 cup water 1 cup milk which is 2 cups plus the 3/4 milk? Please help me understand
I am sorry! My recipes were recently converted to a new format and I have no idea why that said it was 1 chai. It makes between 2 and 3 depending on how much you fill up your cup. I am going to be making this again soon and will also provide ounces if that is helpful.
This was so good!
Glad you like it! I make it a lot when I am craving a chai! ๐
Get loose Indian tea and Tea Masala (spices) from the Indian store. Heat up ln in a small saucepan. When it begins to steam, turn it off and add one tablespoon of tea and half a teaspoon of spices. Cover and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Stain into cup through a tea strainer and add sugar. Wonderful and this is true India chai.
Thanks for sharing how you make it!
Oh my gosh this was so so yummy! I just made one, and I used gingerbread tea bags because that’s what I had on hand. So delicious!
That sounds delicious~! Thanks for letting me know. The perfect fall drink.
Great idea!
Iโve heard of doing this before, but never have. Youโve inspired me to give it a go!
Thanks
