With so many artisanal chai concentrates to choose from nowadays, you can make your own barista-worthy cuppa right at home.

Ingredients

  • ½cup sweetened or unsweetened
  • chai concentrate
  • ½cup milk (dairy or nondairy)

Preparation

  1. 1. Put the chai concentrate into a
    large mug.
    2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof
    mug. Hold the mug in one hand and
    place under the steam wand so the
    bottom of the wand is just below the
    surface of the milk at an angle. Select
    the Steam function and press the
    START/STOP knob to start steaming.
    While holding the mug at an angle, allow
    the steam to move the milk around.
    Once the milk begins to increase in
    volume, lift the mug up higher so the
    steam wand immerses deeper into the
    milk (this will prevent large bubbles
    from forming and will make a nice fine
    milk foam). When the foam has almost
    reached the top of the mug and you can
    feel that the milk in the mug is quite
    hot, press the START/STOP knob to stop
    steaming. Tap the mug a few times to
    remove any larger bubbles.
    3. Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding
    back the foam, into the mug with chai
    concentrate.
    4. Serve immediately.
  2. Dirty Chai:
    Brew 1 espresso capsule into the mug with the
    chai concentrate.
