1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider

Instructions

Brew a strong chai tea using 2 tea bags and 1/2 cup boiling water. Steep 5–7 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine apple juice and milk. Heat gently over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
Stir in the brewed chai, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener if using. Mix well.
Froth with a milk frother or whisk to create foam (optional).
Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or an apple slice if desired.

Notes

For stronger apple flavor, use spiced apple cider instead of juice.

Make it vegan with almond or oat milk and maple syrup.

Add a shot of espresso for a dirty chai twist.

Try adding nutmeg or star anise for deeper spice notes.

Serve iced by cooling the mixture and pouring over ice.
