Ingredients

  • ¼ cup filtered water

  • 2 teaspoons (8g) granulated sugar * plus more to taste
  • ½ cup milk any percentage
  • ⅓ cup strongly brewed coffee
  • Cinnamon or cinnamon sugar optional for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the microwave or on a small pot on the stove, bring water to a boil. Pour water into on 8-ounce mug. Add tea bags and steep for 5 minutes.
  2. While your tea bags steep, heat milk to steaming. Whisk vigorously or use a handheld milk frother to foam the milk.
  3. Once steeped, discard tea bags and stir in sugar until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour most of the milk into the chai mixture, using a spoon if needed to hold back the foam. Add coffee or shot of espresso. Stir, and add more sugar if needed.
  5. Pour the last of the milk and the foam over the top of the latte. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you like a less-sweet latte, start with 1 teaspoon sugar and add more to taste. 
  • This recipe makes a 1-cup (8-ounce) latte. If you want to fill an oversized cup, double the recipe.
