  • 2 chai tea bags or 2 tsp loose-leaf chai tea
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 –2 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon optional, for garnish
  • 1 cinnamon stick or apple slice optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a small pot, combine apple cider and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. Stir in milk and heat gently until warmed through. Do not boil.
  4. Add honey or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use oat milk for extra creaminess or almond milk for a nutty flavor.
  • Unfiltered apple cider adds richer flavor compared to clear juice.
  • Froth the milk before adding for a café-style latte.
  • For a spicier drink, simmer with fresh ginger or star anise.
