What is Chai Tea Latte?
Chai Tea Latte combines black tea brewed with warming spices—often cinnamon, cardamom and ginger—with milk, and it is commonly sweetened. It takes inspiration from masala chai in India, while the foamy, café-style latte version became popular through Western coffee culture.
Creamy, gently sweet and fragrant, it is often served hot, sometimes finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon. In India, masala chai is more commonly enjoyed as tea brewed with milk and spices, while cafés worldwide serve the latte as a coffee-shop alternative. Its carbohydrate content can vary with the amount of sweetener and milk, so it can make a more filling drink than plain tea. Ask for less syrup if you prefer it less sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chai Tea Latte
What is a chai tea latte?
A chai tea latte is black tea brewed with warming spices and combined with milk. It is commonly served hot with milk foam, though cafés also offer iced versions and may use a sweetened chai concentrate.
Does a chai tea latte have caffeine?
Yes, a chai tea latte made with black tea contains caffeine. The amount varies with the tea and brewing method; ordering it with decaffeinated tea can reduce the caffeine while keeping the spiced milk-tea style.
How do you make a chai tea latte at home?
To make a chai tea latte, simmer black tea with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, then strain and combine it with hot milk. Sweeten to taste and froth the milk if you like.
Does a chai tea latte contain coffee?
No, a traditional chai tea latte is made with tea, spices, and milk, not coffee. Some cafés offer versions with espresso added, so ask for a regular chai tea latte if you want to avoid coffee.
What is the difference between a chai tea latte and chai tea?
Chai tea usually means spiced tea brewed with water, while a chai tea latte includes milk, making it creamier. Café versions may also contain sweetened concentrate, so their flavor can be richer and sweeter.
What spices are in a chai tea latte?
A chai tea latte commonly includes cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper. Recipes vary, and some add star anise or nutmeg; there is no single fixed spice blend used by every café or brand.
Is a chai tea latte sweet?
Often, yes: café chai tea lattes may be sweetened because their chai concentrate or syrup contains sugar. The sweetness varies by recipe, so ask for unsweetened chai or less syrup if you prefer a less sweet drink.
Can you make an iced chai tea latte?
Yes, an iced chai tea latte is made by cooling the spiced tea, mixing it with milk, and serving it over ice. Cooling the tea first helps keep the drink from becoming watery as the ice melts.
How long does homemade chai tea latte last in the fridge?
Homemade chai tea latte is best refrigerated promptly in a covered container and used within about two days. Stir or shake it before serving, since the tea and milk can separate; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Can you make a chai tea latte with a tea bag?
Yes, a chai tea latte can be made with a chai tea bag. Steep it strongly in a small amount of hot water, then add warm milk; a plain black tea bag also works if you add the spices separately.
