“My family loves this comforting tea, especially on cold days instead of cocoa or when they're feeling under the weather. I simplified the recipe by using the filter basket of our coffeepot.” It's delicious and great after dinner! Julie Plummer - Sykesville, Maryland

Very Delicious! I have tried several coffee shops Chai Tea Latte and this is the best. Not watered down. Thank you for this recipe.

I am adding to my comment. If you like them iced...no problem. Stick it in a pitcher in the fridge and cool for like 20 minutes and add ice. Perfect! The person who asked how it made this a latte? Milk! Milk makes it a latte. Has nothing to do with coffee or espresso. Also, if you use skim milk its not going to be as rich or creamy. I use 2% and its perfect for me.

I love this! Delicious! Tastes exactly like Starbucks. To make sure the spices are incorporated I cut off the tops of the tea bags put them and all the spices in a small bowl stired it and added to a filtered coffee pot. I added a little more water because sometimes some of the water evaporates. I added an extra 1/4 cup. I also was generous with the creamer. Probably closer to 3 tablespoons because I love my latte's creamy. Great recipe. I will make it a lot!

This is a good start, but I'll need to do some tweaking to make it richer tasting... BTW stray dog, "latte" simply means milk, therefore "caffe latte" = coffee with milk and "chai tea latte" = chai tea with milk.

This is absolutely fantastic and delicious. To help confusion (at least this confused me): I used 2 CHAI tea bags and I OPENED the tea bags and put them into a coffee filter with all the spices. It came out perfectly.

I also used soymilk and added 1/2 tsp of vanilla instead of creamer and reduced the brown sugar.

Very delicious.

Before I read any reviews I halved the spices because I like to taste them but I didn't want them to be overpowering. I also put a teaspoon of vanilla in with my milk and sugar instead of creamer. I had just discovered Chai Tea Lattes at Starbucks and wanted to see if I could make something similar at home but this to my husband and I was TASTIER than the Starbucks CTL. Thank You ToH!

What makes this a latte exactly? I don't see any coffee in this, it's just milk tea.

This is SO yummy! Me and my kids really enjoyed it, would be a great thing to mix up and take in a thermos for sledding. I tripled the recipe, but didn't up the spices, it was still super fabulous.

This is good for a quick latte but it is not the best tasting I have had from this web site.

I'm thankful I came across this recipe. It is so good!!! I am a Starbucks Chai Tea Latte addict, but it is 15 miles from me and with gas prices going up, I will def. be making this A LOT!

very good. I used the Lipton Orange/Black tea bags and used some pumpkin pie spice to substitute for the cardamom. Loved it!

I made this recipe when it was published in the magazine. I had forgotten about it until this chilly November day and it's so good I searched for it here on the site. Make this one. It's perfect.

I loved this recipe! Any kind of tea will work but I recommend using black tea. I used a french press instead of a coffeemaker and it worked just fine. I will make this again!

Hi snowmarshall.

totally not a dumb questions. I often have to think twice about recipes like this, as well. I'd say "regular" tea bags are fine for this recipe - as you'll be adding the chai/spice flavoring with the ginger, cinnamon & allspice.

have fun! this photo makes the recipe look absolutely delicious!

Looks terrific.... Maybe a dumb question but, do you use regular tea bags or chai tea bags?

I've been looking for a good, easy chai recipe and THIS IS IT!! I cut the sugar a bit, as suggested, heated the milk/spice/sugar mixture in the microwave, and added one teaspoon of vanilla since I didn't have the flavored creamer. Thank you soooo much!

Christmas in a Cup is what I call Chai Latte! I thought there was a little too much brown sugar for my taste, but defintely fantastic tasting and much cheaper than the International Foods one in a tin! I am really glad someone came up with what was a mystery concoction to me!

I would suggest halving the brown sugar. It was super sweet. Otherwise a great recipe.
