FAQs
What does chai latte taste like?
Chai latte has a warm and spicy flavor profile with dominant notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. Depending on the specific spices used, it can also have hints of clove, star anise, and black pepper. The sweetness level varies depending on the recipe and whether additional sugar or syrups are used
What is the difference between chai latte and chai tea?
Chai tea is a spiced black tea beverage, typically made by boiling water with spices and loose-leaf tea or tea bags. Chai latte takes this base and adds steamed milk and sweetener, creating a creamier and sweeter drink.
Is chai latte healthy?
Chai latte can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. Black tea offers some antioxidants, and milk provides calcium and protein. However, be mindful of added sugars and choose milk options that fit your dietary needs. Opting for homemade or less sweetened versions can make it a healthier choice.
Can I make chai latte at home?
Yes, you can easily make chai latte at home! You can use pre-made chai tea bags or loose-leaf tea blends, simmer them with milk and spices, and then strain and sweeten to your preference.
