I'm a hot tea drinker fanatic, but every now and then on rainy days like today, I like to try something different: chai lattes are perfect for a cold day.

Steps

20 mins

1

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water and spices to a boil. Whisk the spices in the water.
2

Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat and allow the spices to steep in the water for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn the heat back on and add the black tea bag and maple syrup.
3

Return to a slight boil (the goal is a hot liquid for steeping). Once boiling, turn off the heat. Allow the tea bags to steep in the water and spices for 5 minutes.
4

Remove the tea bags and strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve.
5

Reserve ½ cup of chai tea for the latte. Store the rest of the chai tea in the fridge up to two weeks for freshness.
6

In a medium-size saucepan, bring the milk, maple syrup, and pinch of cinnamon to a slight boil (the sides of the milk will begin to bubble), stirring often. Once the sides of the milk begin to bubble, remove the pan from heat.
7

Using an immersion blender (this is the trick to a frothy homemade latte), blend the milk until it's frothy.
8

Pour ½ cup of chai tea in a mug. Slowly add the warm, frothy milk to the tea.
9

Sprinkle the top of the chai latte with an extra pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
10

Serve warm.
