How to make your own Chai Latte using ground spices. The results are frugal and delicious!
Ingredients
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4¼ teaspoons chai spice
  • 6 black tea bags
  • ⅓ - ½ cup honey or sugar
Directions
  1. In a medium sized pot, heat the milk, water, and the spices together until they begin to boil. Stir regularly to prevent the milk from scalding or forming a skin. Remove from heat as soon as the liquid begins to boil.
  2. Add the tea bags. Place the pot over a low heat and allow the tea bags to steep for 5 minutes. Place a colander over a container. Then line the colander with a thin cloth.
  3. Strain the tea through the thin cloth.
  4. Remove the tea bags and squeeze any liquid out of them.
  5. Return the strained tea to the pot and add the honey or sugar. Heat over a low fire until the honey or sugar is completely dissolved. Serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and mix well (especially if you used honey as it likes to settle on the bottom) before serving.
