What Is Masala Chai?

Masala Chai is a unique blend of black tea with a mixture of aromatic spices, such as organic cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and various other herbs. Originating in the Indian subcontinent, chai has gained worldwide popularity with the addition of frothed milk, becoming colloquially known as a ‘chai tea latte.’ The word “chai” ultimately originated from the Mandarin Chinese word for tea – 茶 chá. So, if you happen to say, “Chai tea latte,” you’re actually saying, “Tea tea latte.”

How Can I Make Chai Latte At Home?

The first step to making tasty Chai Lattes at home is to pick up some chai from Art of Tea. From the original taste of Tali’s Masala Chai or our caffeine-free Rooibos Chai to the seasonal flavors of our Pumpkin Spice Chai or White Winter Chai, you can choose whichever one of our teas suits your taste buds to perfection.

Here are all of the ingredients you’ll need for a chai latte at home:

• Art of Tea Eco Pyramid chai tea bags or Art of Tea loose-leaf chai
• 1 cup of whole milk
• ¼ cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of refrigerated French vanilla non-dairy creamer
• Whipped topping
• Ground nutmeg

Step 1: Brew Your Chai

Whether you’ve opted for Art of Tea chai tea bags or our loose-leaf chai, the first step is to brew your tea. Make sure to leave at least ¼ of your teacup or mug empty, as you will need to add the ‘latte’ mixture later on.

Step 2: Prepare Your Chai ‘Latte’ Mixture

While your tea is steeping, grab a small saucepan and place it on your stove top. Combine the milk, brown sugar and creamer in the pan, and cook over medium heat until all of the ingredients are warm and the brown sugar is dissolved.

Step 3: Combine Tea & Milk Mixture

Pour your hot latte mixture into your tea mug or cup. Dollop with whipped topping and sprinkle with ground nutmeg if desired!
