Notes

If you want to make a vegan chai tea latte, you can simply use soymilk or any milk substitute you want.
Honey makes for a great sweetener if you do not have any maple syrup at home.
For making an iced chai tea latte, just freeze the beverage for a while. You can add ice cubes to the latte too.
