This Chai Latte is made from scratch and it's a great way to control the spices and flavorings going into your chai tea.
Alternately, you can use a chai tea concentrate and skip making the chai tea yourself. It will save time on creating the chai latte. If choosing the chai tea concentrate, add it to the glasses and continue on to create the steamed milk.

How to Make A Chai Tea Latte
There are a few simple steps to creating a deliciously warm chai tea latte.
Bring the water and spices to a low boil - In a small saucepan, combine the water and the spices and bring until just boiling.
Add the tea bags - Remove the water from the heat and add the tea bags.
Steep the tea bags - Steep the tea bags for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags - Remove the tea bags and strain the tea with a fine mesh strainer.
Straining the tea is essential so that the tea is not overpowering and too intense. A fine mesh strainer will remove the spices that create a smooth tea.
Divide the tea between two glasses - Equally divide the tea between two glasses and set aside.

Heat the milk - Bring the milk, brown sugar, and honey until just beginning to boil, and then remove from heat.
Froth the milk - Using a whisk, beat until frothy. Or, use an electric milk frother for quicker frothing.
TIP
An electric milk frother works wonders when creating froth or creating steamed milk.

Pour the milk into the glasses - Pour the frothy milk mixture equally between two glasses filled with the tea.
Garnish and serve - Serve with whipped cream and a dusting of ground cinnamon. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.
