Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe

Chai lattes always make me want something pumpkin spice to go with it, and these Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookies are my go-to pumpkin recipe. Now, if you just want to have a cookie with it but want something with chocolate, try these Ranger Cookies. If you are just looking for a fun snack to enjoy with this tea, I recommend trying these Ranch Dill Oyster Crackers.

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the tea bags, then turn off the heat. Let the tea steep for 6 minutes. Remove the tea bags from the pan. Stir in your sugar until it dissolves.

Use the tea in your favorite hot lattes, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for iced chai tea lattes.

To serve, mix your concentrate in a 1:1 ratio. Meaning you want 1/2 cup of the concentrate to 1/2 cup of the milk of your choice. You can combine the concentrate and milk, pour it over ice for an iced chai latte, or you can heat the concentrate and mix it with the milk for a hot beverage. Whether I have it hot or cold, I enjoy it with pumpkin cream-filled muffins or banana bread.

The longer that the tea steeps, the stronger it will become. If you oversteep your tea, you can dilute it to the strength you prefer by adding a tablespoon of water at a time. Another option is to leave it strong and dilute it with more milk or ice cubes when you mix your beverage.

Chai Tea Concentrate is tea and spices that have been steeped together with added sugars. While the Chai Syrup generally does not contain tea, it only contains spices and sugar.

We all love our drive-through drinks, but let's be honest, the price is getting steep. They are almost hard to find for under four or five dollars a drink anymore. The benefit of having the concentrate is that it saves you so much money while also having a cleaner and healthier drink than the pre-made mixes that are used in most coffee shops.
