Recipe for a Homemade Chai Tea Concentrate or Store Bought Chai Concentrate
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.
Adjust to taste based on your personal preference and, add some additional spices
 if you'd like!
To make a Dirty Apple Cider Chai Latte, add a shot or two of espresso. Starbucks uses its blonde roast in its fall specialty drinks.
