Dirty Chai Latte Recipe

This dirty chai latte recipe is one of my favorite morning treats during the fall and winter season! It's packed in warm, fall spices to give you all the cozy vibes but it also features two shots of espresso to pack in the caffeine for that extra kick of energy!

Equipment

  • 1 Hand Frother or Milk Steamer
  • 1 Espresso Machine
  • 2 Mugs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Espresso Shots I used my nespresso machine for this but you are welcome to use your favorite espresso machine!
  • ½-1 Tablespoon Chai powder I used the Trader Joe's Powder Mix but you can also use Sam's club Chai Powder. I recommend powder over concentrate for this recipe for the best taste!
  • 1 Cup Milk of Choice I used lactose free 2% milk. I recommend one with protein if possible such as soy milk if you’re dairy free to help with blood sugar balance!

Instructions
 

  • Start by brewing your espresso into a mug.
  • Next, add in your chai powder. Use an electric mixer to mix it in.
  • In a separate cup, heat up ½ cup of your milk of choice. I usually do 45 -60 seconds in the microwave. Then use a hand frother to froth your milk. You can also froth your milk using a milk frother if you have one (milk frothers will typically heat your milk and froth it at the same time).
  • Lastly, pour your frothed milk in to the mug with the chia and espresso. Stir and serve! You can optionally top your dirty chai latte with an extra little bit of chai powder on top!
  • Hint: You can also make an iced version of this drink by brewing the espresso over ice. In a separate cup, add in your milk and chai powder and use a hand frother to mix the milk and chai powder together and pour over the iced espresso. Mix and enjoy!
