Laura says
April 3, 2016 at 2:03 pmIf I only wanted to use milk instead of water, should I just cut out the water entirely, or double the amount of milk needed?
The Jenny Evolution says
April 3, 2016 at 4:59 pmYou can definitely make it with just milk… it makes it that much more creamy. Just cut out the amount of water and replace it with milk.
Kristen says
June 6, 2016 at 5:09 pmThis looks so awesome! Can I use soy milk in this recipe?
The Jenny Evolution says
June 7, 2016 at 8:57 amI actually love it with soy milk!

The Jenny Evolution says
September 8, 2016 at 4:00 pmLet me know how it tastes with coconut milk… that is one combo I haven’t tried yet 🙂
Jamie says

November 13, 2016 at 2:01 pmThis recipe is absolutely amazing! And so easy to make! Love it!
Kimberly Boatwright says
December 26, 2016 at 4:22 pmI have an espresso machine with a milk steamer/frother jet. Normally I use this to bypass having to use a saucepan for the milk when making lattes and such. Is there any way I can get the steps for making this with that jet attachment rather than using the saucepan? Thank you sounds yummy!
The Jenny Evolution says
December 29, 2016 at 2:25 pmI guess you could try it with the steamer… but you really do want the flavors to simmer together. It’s not just about heating them up but letting the flavors mix in together and create an overall taste. Definitely let me know if you try it with your steam, however 🙂
LaDonna says
January 5, 2017 at 6:31 pmThis is really good. I’d like it a little more spicy, not sure which spice to add more of. This really is a delicious copy!!!
The Jenny Evolution says
January 12, 2017 at 9:27 amRather than adding one particular spice, have you thought about making a “stronger” cup of chai… raise up all of the measurements of the chai vs. liquid. It would be like getting an extra shot in your cup at Starbucks.
Jaime says
January 22, 2017 at 8:37 pmI can’t wait to try this? How long can you store the leftover chai latte in the refrigerator?
The Jenny Evolution says
January 23, 2017 at 12:49 pmI only keep it in the fridge up to a week, personally.
Grace says
February 24, 2017 at 4:26 pmIS there a way to not use milk powder?
Roseann Hampton says
March 12, 2017 at 4:03 pmYum! Pinning!

Danielle R. says
April 3, 2017 at 11:50 amDo you know what the ingredient measurements would be for just one cup of chai? 🙂
The Jenny Evolution says
April 3, 2017 at 6:16 pmI would just make the syrup and refrigerate the extra.
Sizzler says
April 16, 2017 at 11:06 amThe last step is: Remove from heat and filter liquid. How do you filter the liquid?
The Jenny Evolution says
April 17, 2017 at 4:20 pmI use a liquid strainer… makes it really easy! http://amzn.to/2nWkpL5 (affiliate)
Judy Baughman says
April 25, 2017 at 8:29 pmHi, looking forward to making this! I assume everything is ground except for the cloves, or do you use Whole Cardamon and full cloves and all else is ground?
The Jenny Evolution says
April 28, 2017 at 8:05 pmI use ground Cardamon for sure! But great question 🙂
Jacqueilne Durant-Harthorne says
June 28, 2017 at 8:18 amWhat Chi tea do you think is most like Starbucks to use in this recipie?
The Jenny Evolution says
July 2, 2017 at 4:32 pmBecause you’re making this from scratch, you make your own “chai.”
Jennifer Griffin says
August 16, 2017 at 8:56 pmIf you store this for a week, can you reheat it or does it impact the taste?
Joy says
December 4, 2017 at 9:13 amHow much syrup for just one cup?
Zaib Mumtaz says
March 15, 2018 at 8:54 pmIt tasted yummy though I didn’t add nutmeg and honey and take 1cup milk and 1 cup water added ingredients 1/4 instead of half teaspoon
Nancy says
August 28, 2018 at 4:14 pmI like your recipe. But this isn’t how Starbucks makes theirs. They pour it out of a container of Oregon Chai. The lazy way. When you steam milk everything tastes good.
Mommy Evolution says
September 7, 2018 at 9:48 amLOL! That’s true. But they make the syrup somewhere. And how you can make yours at home 🙂
Kristina says
February 5, 2019 at 6:06 pmHi this is Kristina visiting from Tuesdays at Our Home. Not only does this save money but I bet the ingredients are much better for you too. It’s a win win! I’ve always thought it’s better to make drinks at home anyway because you can make them exactly how you like them.
Sarah Tevis says
February 6, 2019 at 11:44 amThis is my FAVORITE thing to get at any coffee shop. I love knowing that you have a recipe that I can make at home for a fraction of the cost. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I found your link on the Dream, Create, and inspire blog hop.
