Homemade Chai Tea Latte is the perfect easy fall drink recipe to warm you up and keep you cozy. The rich, warm spices of chai tea are made creamy and thick using your favorite milk of choice, along with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
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.
