Good morning, friends. We have the perfect recipe for tea lovers today: chai tea lattes. Tea latte and chai tea are both favorites of mine! Snacks and Sips recently added another entry to our Starbucks Copycat recipe collection that has been one of our most popular recipes! I’m taking a stab at Starbucks’ classic chai tea latte recipe with this recipe.

The tea that is traditionally called chai tea contains tea, spices, and milk. Here you can learn all you need to know about making a perfect Chai tea latte in your very own home.

The ingredients for my version are simple and it takes just about 10 minutes to make. There is an alternative method of making chai lattes at home, you can use chai concentrate and combine it with milk instead of using chai concentrate. Because it can be controlled for sugar, it is also WAY cheaper than buying one of those $4 jugs of tea concentrate that makes only a few drinks.

FAQs

Do you know what chai tea lattes taste like?

Chai lattes are similar to Starbucks’ pumpkin spice lattes, but they lack the bitterness that espresso imparts (chai lattes don’t contain coffee).

The homemade version is very similar to the store-bought version. Chai, which is spicy and warming, is lightly sweetened, and steamed milk mellows out its flavors. When you order a Starbucks beverage, you’re offered 2% milk by default; however, if you prefer a richer drink, you can choose whole milk or even add a splash of whole milk or heavy cream.

Do you have iced chai tea lattes available?

Absolutely! Please visit my post on how to make iced chai lattes for instructions on how to do so.

Can you tell me how to froth a chai tea latte?

Before adding the milk to your chai latte, you can froth it with an immersion blender or a milk frother after mixing all your ingredients together. We suggest frothing your milk in a tall jar or glass of some kind.

What are the vegan options for chai lattes?

Lattes made with chai tea can be made vegan very easily. You can substitute non-dairy milk for honey in this recipe and substitute pure maple syrup for honey.

Are you able to get energy from chai tea?

In general, chai tea contains about one-third the amount of caffeine of a cup of coffee, so it will still give you a boost of energy. Love a caffeine buzz? Take a look at these caffeinated snacks and drinks.
