Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 chai tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose chai tea
  • 1/2 cup water

Apple Cider

  • 1/2 cup apple cider

Milk and Sweetener

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional

Garnish

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
  • Cinnamon stick or apple slice, optional

Instructions

  1. Brew the Chai Tea: Boil fresh water and pour 1/2 cup into a mug with the chai tea bag or loose chai tea. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes to fully extract the flavors, then remove the tea bag or strain out the loose tea.
  2. Add Apple Cider: Warm the 1/2 cup apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until hot but not boiling, then pour it into the mug with the brewed chai tea.
  3. Add Milk and Sweetener: Heat the milk of your choice until warm, and optionally froth it for a café-style texture. Pour the warmed milk into the mug, and stir in honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top, or add a cinnamon stick or apple slice for an aromatic garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetness by adjusting honey or maple syrup to taste or omit for unsweetened.
  • Use plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
  • Frothing the milk enhances the latte experience but is optional.
  • Heating methods for apple cider and milk can be stovetop or microwave according to convenience.
  • Garnishes add aroma and visual appeal but can be omitted if desired.
