Ingredients
Chai Tea Concentrate
- 4 black tea bags
- 1 cup water boiled
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
For Serving
- 3/4 cup milk per serving, of choice
- 1 1/2 cups ice
Instructions
- Place the 4 tea bags in a large mug or measuring cup, then pour the boiled water over them. Let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the bags.
- While the tea is steeping, add the maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to a 16-ounce mason jar with a lid. Use a whisk to stir them together, or secure the lid on the jar and shake well. Add the tea and shake again to complete the chai tea concentrate.
- When you're ready to make a serving, add ice and 3/4 cup of milk to a glass. Pour a 1/4 cup of the chai concentrate (shake well before measuring each time!) over the milk, then stir. You can add a little more concentrate for a sweeter and spicier flavor, or add more milk to dilute the flavor. The choice is up to you!
- Store the concentrate in the airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Store chai concentrate in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Shake concentrate well before each use to redistribute spices and syrup.
- Adjust milk and concentrate proportions to control the sweetness and strength of the latte.
