Notes

Chai Tea Latte is best served hot in a cozy mug. You can sprinkle a little extra chai spice on top for added flavor and presentation. Pair with cookies or cake for a delightful treat. If you have leftovers, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat before serving. Adjust sweetness and try frothing milk for a creamier texture. Experiment with various spices like nutmeg or allspice for unique flavors.
