What is Chai?

Chai tea is a type of spiced tea that originated in India.

It is typically made by brewing black tea with a mixture of spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and black pepper.

Chai tea can be enjoyed plain or with milk and sweetener added.

It has a warming and comforting flavor and aroma, and is often associated with relaxation and mindfulness.

    1. You’re welcome! I’m working on how to make Starbucks Chai with your Keurig right now… look for it next week!

  1. that is an awful lot of honey!

  2. Join Me on Friday Features Linkup says:

    I like finding copy cat recipes,thanks for sharing your recipe on #OMHGFF this week, appreciate your visit!!
    Have a great weekend!
    Karren

  3. Yum! I will have to try this! I’m a tea junkie.

  4. If I only wanted to use milk instead of water, should I just cut out the water entirely, or double the amount of milk needed?

    1. You can definitely make it with just milk… it makes it that much more creamy. Just cut out the amount of water and replace it with milk.

  5. This looks so awesome! Can I use soy milk in this recipe?

  6. My husband and I both love Chai Tea Lattes! Yum! Looking forward to giving this a try.

  7. Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to have to try this with coconut milk this weekend!

  8. I have so many friends who love these – I’ll have to share this. 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty

  9. This recipe is absolutely amazing! And so easy to make! Love it!

  10. Kimberly Boatwright says:

    I have an espresso machine with a milk steamer/frother jet. Normally I use this to bypass having to use a saucepan for the milk when making lattes and such. Is there any way I can get the steps for making this with that jet attachment rather than using the saucepan? Thank you sounds yummy!

    1. I guess you could try it with the steamer… but you really do want the flavors to simmer together. It’s not just about heating them up but letting the flavors mix in together and create an overall taste. Definitely let me know if you try it with your steam, however 🙂

  11. This is really good. I’d like it a little more spicy, not sure which spice to add more of. This really is a delicious copy!!!

    1. Rather than adding one particular spice, have you thought about making a “stronger” cup of chai… raise up all of the measurements of the chai vs. liquid. It would be like getting an extra shot in your cup at Starbucks.

  12. I can’t wait to try this? How long can you store the leftover chai latte in the refrigerator?

  13. IS there a way to not use milk powder?

  14. I LOVE chai latte’s! I will have to give this one a try! Trying to break my Starbucks addiction!!! Thanks for sharing at Happiness is Homemade Link Party!

  15. Oh, Chai Latte’s are my favorite! Thanks for sharing the recipe at the Family Joy Blog Link Party this week! Please join us again next week!

  16. Danielle R. says:

    Do you know what the ingredient measurements would be for just one cup of chai? 🙂

  17. The last step is: Remove from heat and filter liquid. How do you filter the liquid?

  18. Judy Baughman says:

    Hi, looking forward to making this! I assume everything is ground except for the cloves, or do you use Whole Cardamon and full cloves and all else is ground?

  19. Jacqueilne Durant-Harthorne says:

    What Chi tea do you think is most like Starbucks to use in this recipie?

  20. Jennifer Griffin says:

    If you store this for a week, can you reheat it or does it impact the taste?

  21. How much syrup for just one cup?

  22. Zaib Mumtaz says:

    It tasted yummy though I didn’t add nutmeg and honey and take 1cup milk and 1 cup water added ingredients 1/4 instead of half teaspoon

  23. I like your recipe. But this isn’t how Starbucks makes theirs. They pour it out of a container of Oregon Chai. The lazy way. When you steam milk everything tastes good.

    1. LOL! That’s true. But they make the syrup somewhere. And how you can make yours at home 🙂

  24. Hi this is Kristina visiting from Tuesdays at Our Home. Not only does this save money but I bet the ingredients are much better for you too. It’s a win win! I’ve always thought it’s better to make drinks at home anyway because you can make them exactly how you like them.

  25. This is my FAVORITE thing to get at any coffee shop. I love knowing that you have a recipe that I can make at home for a fraction of the cost. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I found your link on the Dream, Create, and inspire blog hop.
