Start by boiling water and pouring it over your chai tea bag in a cup. We recommend using any type of chai tea bag, whether caffeinated or decaf, based on your preference. Allow the tea to steep for exactly 5 minutes to extract the full flavor profile from the spices and black tea.
Pour your chosen milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it begins to steam. We find that higher fat content milk yields a creamier final drink, though any type of milk works well, including non-dairy options.
Pour most of the steamed milk into your prepared chai tea concentrate, reserving some milk and foam for the top layer. Stir gently to combine the milk with the spiced tea base, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
