Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Put the water on the fire in a small saucepan until it boils, then add the tea bags and leave them for 5 to 7 minutes – we want the tea to become really dark and strong.
Step 2: Remove the sachets and stir the sugar or honey immediately while it’s still hot to prevent it from becoming grainy – Tip: If you want your chai latte to taste just like the original, regular sugar is usually better than honey.
Step 3: Heat the milk until it is hot but not boiling. Use a frother to create a light and fluffy foam. If you don’t have one, simply whisk it very quickly by hand.
Step 4: Pour the tea concentrate into the cups until they are half full, then pour the frothy milk directly on top. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the foam and you’re done.
