Chai Tea Latte Recipe With Tea Bag (better than Starbucks!)
5 from 2 votes
This is a quick and easy chai latte using a tea bag. It’s so cozy and even better than the ones at coffee shops! I love sipping a warm chai in the afternoons while writing blog posts, reading books, or watching our favorite podcasts!
optional - sprinkle of ground cinnamon (for the top)
Instructions
Heat water over high heat in a pot or kettle.
Take water off of heat right before it begins to boil, right when it starts to make a little noise.
Add tea bag to a mug and pour heated water over it.
While this is steeping, warm milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 3 minutes until it's warm. Do not let this boil.
Once milk is warmed, pour into mug of steeping tea. Optional: If desired you can use a milk frother or electric frothing wand to froth the milk before pouring it into the mug.
Add honey (more if desired) and stir to combine.
Either leave the tea bag in while you enjoy your latte or take it out. Optional: Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and enjoy!

Helpful Tips
Use any brand of chai spiced black tea bags. It's best to choose a brand that doesn't use plastic tea bags. I really like the Stash or Drink Habit brands.
If you like your drinks sweeter then add another tablespoon of honey
If you prefer your chai more creamy, add extra milk.
