Origin Chai Tea Latte

Masala chai is a traditional Indian beverage enjoyed for centuries. While classic chai is typically boiled with milk and sugar, the Western-style latte version uses a stronger tea base and extra-steamed milk to create that velvety texture you’d find in a coffee shop.

Ingredients

2 cups water
2 black tea bags or 2 tsp loose black tea (like Assam or Darjeeling)
1 cinnamon stick
4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
4 whole cloves
4–6 black peppercorns
1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
2–3 tsp honey, sugar, or maple syrup (to taste)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine water, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, peppercorns, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
Add tea bags or loose tea. Simmer gently 2–3 minutes more.
Strain the mixture into a heatproof pitcher or bowl to remove spices and tea leaves.
Return the liquid to the pan. Stir in milk and sweetener. Heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
If desired, froth with a milk frother or whisk vigorously for extra foam.
Pour into mugs and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
