Yummy! I love Chai tea lattes. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m working on how to make Starbucks Chai with your Keurig right now… look for it next week!
Your recipe sounds sooooo yummy, Jenny! Thanks for sharing it. <3
that is an awful lot of honey!
Sometimes it’s better to NOT know how they make drinks taste so sweet 🙂
YUM!
I like finding copy cat recipes,thanks for sharing your recipe on #OMHGFF this week, appreciate your visit!!
Have a great weekend!

Yum! I will have to try this! I’m a tea junkie.
Then you’re going to LOVE this recipe. Enjoy!
If I only wanted to use milk instead of water, should I just cut out the water entirely, or double the amount of milk needed?
You 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.
This looks so awesome! Can I use soy milk in this recipe?
I actually love it with soy milk!
Hi Jenny, Thanks for sharing this recipe! Yum! Blessings, Janet
My husband and I both love Chai Tea Lattes! Yum! Looking forward to giving this a try.
Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to have to try this with coconut milk this weekend!
Let me know how it tastes with coconut milk… that is one combo I haven’t tried yet 🙂
I have so many friends who love these – I’ll have to share this. 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
This recipe is absolutely amazing! And so easy to make! Love it!
I 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!
I 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 🙂
This 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!!!
Rather 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.
I can’t wait to try this? How long can you store the leftover chai latte in the refrigerator?
I only keep it in the fridge up to a week, personally.
IS there a way to not use milk powder?
Yum! Pinning!
I LOVE chai latte’s! I will have to give this one a try! Trying to break my Starbucks addiction!!! Thanks for sharing at Happiness is Homemade Link Party!

Thanks for linking up at #bloggerspotlight
This sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing it over at Food Friday. Excited to see what you’ll be sharing next! 🙂
Do you know what the ingredient measurements would be for just one cup of chai? 🙂
I would just make the syrup and refrigerate the extra.
The last step is: Remove from heat and filter liquid. How do you filter the liquid?
I use a liquid strainer… makes it really easy! http://amzn.to/2nWkpL5 (affiliate)
Hi, 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?
I use ground Cardamon for sure! But great question 🙂
What Chi tea do you think is most like Starbucks to use in this recipie?
Because you’re making this from scratch, you make your own “chai.”
If you store this for a week, can you reheat it or does it impact the taste?
How much syrup for just one cup?
It 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
I 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.
LOL! That’s true. But they make the syrup somewhere. And how you can make yours at home 🙂
