Notes
- Use 1 black tea bag for a milder chai or 2 tea bags for a stronger tea flavor. Don’t steep the black tea longer than 5 minutes. Oversteeping can make it bitter.
- The tea can be prepared and chilled ahead of time. Wait to froth and add the milk until you’re ready to serve it. If the milk is super cold, it won't froth as well. You'll need to reheat any milk that you want to froth.
