Chai Tea Latte Recipe With Tea Bag (better than Starbucks!)
This quick and easy chai latte is heartwarming, good for your body, and even better than the version at Starbucks! I love sipping a warm chai in the afternoons while writing recipe blogs, reading a book, or watching tv. It's so cozy and the perfect treat!
Ingredients
- 1 chai spiced black tea bag
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 cup half and half (or milk)
- 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!

Notes
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.
