4.9 from 62 reviews

A warm and comforting Apple Chai Latte combining spiced chai tea with the sweet and tangy flavor of apple cider, finished with creamy milk and optional honey for a perfect fall-inspired beverage.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup water

Tea and Flavorings

  • 2 chai tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose chai tea
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Garnishes

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick or apple slice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Simmer Apple Cider and Water: In a small pot, combine the apple cider and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat to warm the mixture and prepare it for steeping.
  2. Steep Chai Tea: Once the cider mixture is simmering, add the chai tea bags or loose chai tea. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes to infuse the spiced flavors, then remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea.
  3. Add Milk and Sweetener: Pour in the milk and stir in honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte. Heat gently until the mixture is warmed through, ensuring it does not boil to maintain the milk’s creaminess.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the Apple Chai Latte into mugs. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, a cinnamon stick, or an apple slice to enhance aroma and presentation. Enjoy your cozy beverage!

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk: dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy.
  • Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Do not boil the milk after adding to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth texture.
  • For a stronger chai flavor, steep the tea for the full 5 minutes.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
