Ingredients
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like oat, almond, or soy)
1 chai tea bag (or 1 tbsp loose-leaf chai in a tea infuser)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Thin apple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat apple cider in a small saucepan until steaming.
2. Add the chai tea bag and steep for 5–7 minutes.
3. Remove the tea bag and stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sweetener. Simmer for 1–2 more minutes.
4. In a separate pan or microwave, warm the milk and froth it using a frother or whisk.
5. Pour the chai-apple mix into a mug, then top with frothed milk.
6. Garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon, and apple slices.
7. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use fresh apple cider for the richest flavor.
Oat milk creates the best froth among non-dairy options.
Don’t over-steep the chai to avoid bitterness.
