Chai Latte

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tea bags of Chai Rooibos tea (or your favourite Chai tea)
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 10 whole cloves
  • chai_latte_large1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup non-fat milk
  • 2 teaspoons honey (optional)

Directions:

  • Place the tea bags, cinnamon stick, ginger and whole cloves in a glass measuring cup.
  • Pour the boiling water into the same measuring cup.
  • Allow to steep for at least 10-15 minutes. But for a truly strong and spicy flavor, you will want to let it steep much longer. Taste it every ten minutes to find out what strength you enjoy.
  • If you want it sweet, add the sweetener and stir to dissolve.
  • Add your milk.

(Makes 2 servings)


Note: making this entire recipe in a glass measuring cup (2 cup measure) is easier and less clean up.
