Dirty Chai Latte: A Spiced Tea and Coffee Fusion You Can Make at Home

The Dirty Chai Latte is the best of both worlds: the bold kick of espresso meets the warm, spiced comfort of chai tea. Creamy, energizing, and perfectly balanced with cinnamon and nutmeg, this café classic is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. Whether you need a morning boost or an afternoon pick-me-up, this drink delivers both flavor and energy.

Ingredients

• Double shot espresso (or ⅓ cup strong brewed coffee)

• ½ cup chai concentrate

• ½ cup oat milk (or milk of choice)

• (Optional) sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

1. Brew a double shot of espresso or prepare strong coffee in a mug. Pull your shot with Indian Monsoon for smooth spice harmony, or choose Sumatra Mandheling for a richer, chocolate-forward kick.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the chai concentrate and milk together until hot but not boiling.

3. Froth the mixture until smooth and foamy.

4. Pour the steamed chai-milk blend over the espresso.

5. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.

This recipe makes one creamy, spiced latte that’s both comforting and energizing.
