Other Options to Froth Milk:

- A Handheld Milk Frother: If you'd like a lower price point, you can use a handheld milk frother. You'll just need to warm your milk in another saucepan.

- Alternatively you can warm the milk in a separate pan, and whisk it or put it into a mason jar with a lid and shake it to make it foam.

Each Chai concentrate and apple cider/ apple juice mixture has varying amounts of spices and sweetness.
