Directions To Make The Perfect Chai Latte

Now add all these spices into the boiling water. Wait until the color becomes reddish-brown. A spicy smell will emerge from the water by now. When it does, add 1 tbsp. brown sugar and 3 black tea bags to the saucepan. Let it infuse for 5 to 7 minutes.

After that, strain the tea between 4 mugs through a mesh strainer. Cover them with a saucer. It’s very important to do so otherwise the tea will get cold.

Step 3: Prepare The Milk

Now that you have strained the tea, clean the saucepan with water. Pour 500 ml whole milk into the saucepan. Steam the milk in medium-low heat, otherwise, the milk will splatter. 

Add 2 tsp. brown sugar. After steaming it for 3 to 4  minutes, turn down the heat. Take the saucepan away from the stove. Froth the top with a whisk or milk frother. This will create some foam.

Step 4: Final Touches to The Chai Latte

Now that the milk is prepared, strain the milk into all the tea-filled 4 mugs. Don’t strain the froth. Stir each of the mugs perfectly so that the milk and the tea mix well. 

Now, add milk foam on top of each latte using a spoon. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder for garnish.

And there you are, you’ve made the perfect chai latte.
