The perfect spicy, sweet and heartwarming drink for a cool autumn morning.
Chai tea brings to mind some pretty funky flavors and spices, but fear not – this chai tea latte recipe goes light on the strong spices, yet includes just enough to make this hot drink unique and delicious.
As with most lattes, you can add ice at the end for a cool drink, but be sure to cook the tea, sweetener and spices thoroughly first.

- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
