Ingredients
- 4 oz boiling hot water
- 2 chai tea bags
- 5 oz hot whole milk
- 1-2 tablespoon simple syrup
- dash of vanilla extract
- sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by steeping your chai tea bags and hot water in your preferred mug for about 3-5 minutes. The longer you steep the chai, the richer the flavor will develop.
- While the chai tea steeps, heat the milk. If you have an electric milk frother and steamer, add the milk and froth and steam to heat, creating that perfect foamy texture.
- If you do not have an electric milk frother and steamer, heat the milk either in the microwave or over the stovetop in a small pot.
- Once the milk is heated, use an electric handheld frother for about a minute to froth the milk.
- Once the tea is steeped and the milk is frothed, remove the tea bags and add the simple syrup and a dash of vanilla to your mug.
- When pouring the frothed milk into the mug, use a spoon to hold back the foam until the end. Pour all of the hot milk in with the chai tea first, then pour the foam layer on top at the end.
- Top with a dusting of cinnamon as desired and enjoy your perfect morning pick me up!
