A cozy and flavorful Apple Cider Chai Tea Latte that combines the warmth of chai spices with the sweetness of apple cider. This easy homemade recipe uses chai tea concentrate, apple cider, and steamed milk to create a delicious beverage perfect for chilly days or any time you need a comforting drink. Optional toppings like whipped cream and caramel sauce add a special touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Tea and Apple Base

  • 1/2 cup chai tea concentrate (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/3 cup apple cider or apple juice

Milk

  • 1/3 cup whole milk or plant-based milk of your choice

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat chai concentrate and apple cider: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of chai tea concentrate and 1/3 cup of apple cider or apple juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to blend flavors.
  2. Warm and froth the milk: While the tea and apple mixture heats, warm 1/3 cup of whole milk or your preferred plant-based milk. Use a milk frother to heat and create a creamy foam for that coffee shop-style finish. If you don’t have a frother, gently warm the milk and whisk vigorously to create some froth.
  3. Combine and pour: Pour the hot chai apple mixture from the saucepan into a mug, filling about two-thirds full.
  4. Add frothed milk: Top the mug with the steamed and frothed milk, pouring gently to create a layered look with foam on top.
  5. Finish and garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the milk foam for a simple garnish. For an indulgent treat, add whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought chai concentrate for convenience or make your own homemade chai concentrate for a fresher flavor.
  • If you don’t have a milk frother, warm your milk on the stove and whisk vigorously or shake in a jar with a lid to create foam.
  • Whole milk creates a rich and creamy latte, but plant-based alternatives like oat, almond, or soy milk work equally well.
  • Adjust the ratio of chai concentrate and apple cider based on your taste preference for sweetness and spice intensity.
  • To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and omit whipped cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • This latte is best enjoyed fresh and hot, as reheating can diminish the texture of the milk foam.
