This smooth and creamy drink is easy to make and perfect either iced or hot.
Equipment
- milk frother

Ingredients
- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup milk I like this milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- dash of cinnamon optional
- 1 star anise for garnishment
Instructions
- Heat water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and add tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes.
- Add in maple syrup to a coffee mug and pour in tea mixture.
- Froth milk in milk frother or French Press. Pour frothed milk in mug with tea.
- Optionaly, add a dash of cinnamon and top with star anise.

Notes
- If you want to adjust the sweetness, add less than 1 tbsp of maple syrup and adjust from there.
- Cinnamon and star anise are optional but add a kick of sweetness and spice and are reminiscent of true Indian flavors.
- What does a chai tea latte taste like? It's a combination of spice and sweetness. It can be compared to a very subtle pumpkin spice latte, but way better in my opinion!
