    I don’t know about you but I am done with the 90 degree weather and ready for cozy, big sweaters, fall boots, crisp air and a big mug of this Homemade Chai Tea Latte.

    My love of Chai Tea Lattes began when I ordered my first cup from Panera Bread. The aroma of all of the flavors together in one cup,  I just absolutely fell in love with it, so much that I would purchase one at least twice a week. Over time those expenses add up!  So, of course, I eventually had to figure out how to make my own at home. With many trial and errors, I finally mastered the perfect latte.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    You'll love the delicious warming flavors of Chai, especially in cooler weather. When the time of the year comes in Florida where we begin to have spurts of cooler weather, there’s nothing like the festive flavors of cinnamon, ginger and cloves with chai spices and perfectly frothy milk.

    Yes, chai lattes have caffeine in them since they are made with black tea leaves.
