Ingredients

Units Scale

Liquids

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Tea and Sweetener

  • 2 chai tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose chai tea
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Spices and Garnish

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Simmer Apple Cider and Water: In a small pot, combine the apple cider and water. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  2. Steep Chai Tea: Once simmering, add the chai tea bags or loose chai tea to the pot. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse. Remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea leaves.
  3. Add Milk and Sweetener: Pour in the milk of your choice and stir in honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness. Warm the mixture gently, taking care not to let it boil to preserve the delicate flavors.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the finished Apple Chai Latte into mugs. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, a cinnamon stick, or an apple slice for an extra festive touch. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk including dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk based on preference or dietary needs.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
  • Steeping time can be adjusted slightly for stronger or milder chai flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • This recipe serves 2 but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
  • Do not boil the milk mixture to prevent curdling and maintain flavor balance.
