4 bags black tea (or 4 teaspoons loose leaf black tea in a tea strainer)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey, agave syrup or simple syrup)
1 cup milk of choice, for serving (use dairy free for vegan)
Instructions
Make the concentrate: Place the water, chai spices, tea and maple syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the mixture just starts to boil, remove it from the heat and rest until room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Strain and store the concentrate: Remove the tea bags and strain through a fine mesh strainer into covered container. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week: make sure to shake before serving! (Makes 4 servings.)
Serve: To serve, place ice in a glass. Combine 3/4 cup chai concentrate and 1/4 cup milk.
