Notes
Tip: For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or sweetened condensed milk to your latte.
For a stronger chai flavor, steep the tea longer or add extra spices. If you prefer a plant-based option, substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk. You can also adjust the sweetness level by varying the amount of vanilla syrup you add.
Store any leftover chai concentrate in the fridge for up to a week, and simply mix with milk and ice for a quick latte anytime!
