Ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 bag chai tea bag
• 1 shot espresso shot
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon honey or low-calorie sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small pot, combine the water, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the mixture is simmering, remove from heat and steep the chai tea bag in the spiced water for about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the steeping time based on your desired strength.

Step 3

Meanwhile, brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop espresso pot, or using a strong coffee drip).

Step 4

In a separate pot or microwave, gently heat the low-fat milk until it's hot but not boiled.

Step 5

Remove the chai tea bag from the pot, then stir in the honey (or sweetener) and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Using a milk frother or immersion blender, froth the hot milk until it becomes foamy.

Step 7

Pour the spiced chai tea into a large mug, then add the espresso shot and stir to combine.

Step 8

Gently pour the frothed milk over the chai-espresso mixture. Use a spoon to hold back the foam until the milk is poured, then spoon the foam on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle a small pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately.
