Really good Chai tea latte?!
Answers: Does anyone know how to make a good Chai tea latte? I usually get the ones in like starbucks and stuff and i want to make it at home. I have the Chai teabags and creamer and sugar and everything like that but I heard you need a Chai tea concentrate or something. Can anyone help me out?
Yes, Starbucks makes Chai Lattes from concentrate, and you can purchase it at any Starbucks. If your local store doesn't have any in stock, ask them to order it for you . The cost is the same as a box of tea bags (4.95 in my area) and it comes in 1 L containers. One box will make approx. 2 L of actual Chai Latte - the retail concentrate doesn't go as far as the stuff we use behind the counter.
To make it similarly at home, brew 2x strength Chai Tea, and mix in an equal amount of hot milk, adding sugar to taste. it will not be quite the same, but you can get pretty darn close. The tea itself is also very good hot or iced, and is one of my favorites during the summer.
Dunkin Donuts made the very best on earth but they stopped selling it. sigh.
I think the kind you buy in a carton, in the supermarket in the organic section, is the best. I do have tea bags to make it myself, but I find it never comes out very strong. If you let it steep, add 2.5 teaspoons of sugar, and SOY milk or heavy cream to make it taste like the good stuff in the stores.
Chai is the best drink in life! L'chaim!

They make an excellent one but it's only for the Tassimo machine (www.tassimo.com) and unfortunantly can be brewed on the machine https://www.tassimo.ca/tassimo/page?site...
