Chai Latte
Report
Learn how to make a chai latte at home! This recipe is better than chai from a coffee shop, and it's easy to make with black tea, warm spices, maple syrup, and your favorite milk. I often use almond milk for steeping the tea, though regular milk or another dairy-free milk works too. If you're topping your latte with frothy milk, I recommend using whole milk or a creamy plant milk like coconut milk or oat milk.

Ingredients
- 3 cinnamon sticks plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 5 whole cloves
- 4 green cardamom pods crushed
- 2 star anise
- 2½ cups almond milk or any milk, plus more foamed milk for topping if desired
- 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger thinly sliced
- 2 black tea bags
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup plus more to taste
- ground cinnamon for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Place the cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom pods, and star anise in a small pot. Toast over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the almond milk and ginger and reduce the heat to low. Gently simmer for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Cover and steep for 10 minutes.
- Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or liquid measuring cup. Pour the tea mixture through the strainer to remove the spices, tea bags, and ginger.
- Stir in the maple syrup, adding more to taste. Pour into mugs and top with foamed milk, if desired. Garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick and dust with ground cinnamon, if using.
