Steps:
- 1. Mix together all ingredients, mixing well. Put in an airtight container. Turn container from time to time to keep ingredients mixed well. I used a zip lock bag.
- 2. Use 2 1/2 Tablespoons of mix per 12-14 oz of very hot water. Let steep for a minute or two before drinking. If you can't find black tea powder, just brew a cup of black tea and add 2 rounded tbsp of mix into the tea, stirring well. I like 3 heaping tablespoons in my cup.

Tips:
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for organic, fair-trade tea and dairy products. Fresh ginger and aromatic spices enhance the flavor.
- Use Loose-Leaf Tea for a Richer Taste: If possible, use loose-leaf black tea or a blend specifically designed for chai lattes. It provides a fuller flavor compared to tea bags.
- Simmer Spices for Maximum Flavor: Instead of adding pre-ground spices, simmer whole spices in milk for 10-15 minutes. This releases their essential oils and infuses the milk with warmth and depth.
- Sweeten to Your Taste: Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. Honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar are great natural options. You can also use sugar substitutes if desired.
- Froth the Milk for a Café-Style Latte: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a smooth, velvety foam on top of your latte. This adds a professional touch and enhances the texture.
- Garnish for an Extra Touch: Sprinkle some ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of cardamom on top of your latte. You can also add a cinnamon stick or star anise for a festive presentation.

Chai tea latte is a comforting and flavorful beverage enjoyed worldwide. By following these tips, you can easily prepare a delicious and authentic chai tea latte at home.
