🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Gather your ingredients: You'll need milk (dairy or non-dairy), chai tea bags or loose leaf chai, white chocolate chips or a white chocolate bar, water, and any optional toppings like whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Brew the chai: If using tea bags, steep them in 1/2 cup of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your chai. For loose leaf chai, use about 1-2 teaspoons per 1/2 cup of water and steep similarly. Don't over steep, or it can become bitter!
Melt the white chocolate: While the chai is steeping, melt the white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or in a double boiler. Be careful not to burn it!
Heat the milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, you can use that instead for extra frothiness. Frothing is not required, but it's highly encouraged!
Combine everything: Pour the brewed chai into a mug. Add the melted white chocolate and stir until well combined. Then, pour in the heated milk and stir again.
Froth (optional): If you frothed your milk, gently spoon the froth on top of the latte.
Add toppings: Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a drizzle of white chocolate sauce. Get creative!
Enjoy immediately: Your homemade White Chocolate Chai Latte is now ready to be enjoyed! Find a cozy spot, relax, and savor the deliciousness. What does this mean for you? It means you now have a delightful, comforting drink at your fingertips, ready whenever you need a little pick-me-up.
📝 Notes
Adjust the amount of white chocolate to your liking. More for a sweeter latte, less for a more subtle flavor.
For a richer flavor, use whole milk or a barista blend non-dairy milk.
If you don't have chai tea bags or loose leaf chai, you can use chai concentrate, but adjust the amount of water accordingly.
Don't skip the frothing step! It makes it so much better!
