Homemade Chai Latte

Fall is almost over and winter is coming. (No, not Game of Thrones, although that really would have been wonderful news) I mean of course the cold winter weather. And what better way to enjoy a frosty day, than with a cup hot Chai Latte.

Chai Latte with whipped cream is perfect for those cold winter days and nights. And its really easy to make yourself. You will never go back to store-bought Chai after making this one. I promise!

Chai is an Indian tea filled with spices and milk. it’s very common to drink Chai in the winter. Firstly because of all the spices that a lot of people associate with Christmas. And secondly, because the spices helps boost your immune system. I’ve always just liked the taste of it. I even drink it cold in the summer. it’s really good as a cold refresher in the summerheat.
