You might think nothing beats an iced coffee, or a tasty latte in the morning, and just a few years ago I would have agreed. But I’m here to share with you an even more cozy, more delicious option for your morning pick-me-up needs, and it doesn’t involve coffee at all! It’s a chai latte! 

Because chai lattes aren’t exactly mainstream, I didn’t discover them until recently. But when I took that first sip, I pretty much kicked coffee to the curb, because chai lattes are absolutely exploding with flavor, and coffee just can’t compete! The problem with a chai latte addiction however, is that they can get costly. Enter the homemade chai latte! I’m here to make your morning routines a whole lot tastier, while saving you some moolah 💰 along the way!

What Is A Chai Latte?


Loaded with spices, this tea is a power-punch of flavor. Starbucks might not like your new favorite homemade chai latte recipe, but your taste buds and your wallet certainly will!

The word chai actually just means tea, so if you’ve heard of chai tea, it literally translates to tea tea. Chai itself is a mixture of black tea and spices. In this particular recipe, I show you how to make your very own vanilla chai mix! 

Contrary to popular belief, a homemade chai latte, or any chai latte for that matter does not actually contain coffee. The latte part comes from adding warm, or steamed milk. But don’t worry, no coffee needed! The combination of spices in this vanilla chai powder in addition to the black tea in the homemade chai latte will provide a nice, subtle energy kick, without the crash or jitters that coffee might.
