This chai latte is a delicious drink made uber famous by none other Starbucks. It’s so popular it even comes in box form found in most supermarkets.
However, there are questionable natural flavored ingredients floating through there, not to mention a staggering 34 grams of sugar in under 1 cup!
Chai lattes are usually made with water, milk, and black tea with chai spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cloves, and star anise. So there’s no reason you can’t make your own at home.
This recipe uses the ease of the Instant Pot, but keep in mind this same recipe can easily be replicated on stove top or in a crockpot.
