Actually, I stopped buying the Earl Grey Tea Latte since it is almost $2 more expensive than when they used to customize a Earl Grey Tea Misto for $2.50 all in. Anyhow, I am a Starbucks fan (especially when their drinks go on sale) otherwise, I stick with my tall Pike roast and get a free refill to go.
Shortcut to making your own Starbucks Chai Tea Latte |
Makes: 2 cups chai tea latte (250 ml each, equivalent to a "short" at Starbucks)
Cost: $0.42/cup
Special Equipment: Milk Frother (optional - see tip below to froth milk in the microwave)
Ingredients
1 cup Tazo Chai Latte concentrate
1 cup milk, any variety (cow, soy, almond, rice)
Cinnamon or Nutmeg to taste
Directions
1. In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the 1 cup of chai tea latte concentrate to a boil.
Bring the concentrate to a rolling boil. |
2. Pour the boiled tea latte concentrate equally into two mugs.
Roughly equal amounts in each mug. |
3. In the same saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer the milk until there are bubbles and the milk has not reached a rolling boil.
Simmer the milk so you see visible bubbles but not boiling |
4. If you have a milk frother, froth the milk in the saucepan. (Optional)
Be careful of splatters if you use a frother! |
5. Pour the milk equally into each mug. If you frothed the milk, using a spoon, scoop the foam equally into each mug.
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.

- You can also pour equal parts of chai latte concentrate and milk over ice for a cold beverage
- Blend ice, milk and chai latte concentrate for a chai latte frappucino
- If you do not have a milk frother, and you want frothed milk follow the steps below. Detailed link can be found at The Kitchn.
- Pour milk (skim, 1% or 2% works best) into a clean microwavable lidded jar (ie. mason canning jars).
- Do not pour more than halfway full otherwise the milk will not foam
- Shake the jar until the milk doubles in volume. Remove lid.
- Microwave the jar (without the lid) for 30 seconds. Pour out desired amount of milk and scoop out foam.
Chai Tea Latte concentrate (makes about 23 cups for 3 x 946 ml cartons) $6.00
