If you are a chai lover and want to try other Starbucks chai drinks at home, here are a few:
Iced Chai Tea Latte: Very similar to the chai tea latte, the Starbucks iced chai latte is made with chai concentrate or spice infused tea with milk and served over ice. The main difference would be that it is not frothed obviously, its chilled!
Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte: This is very seasonal and comes in during the fall season and stays around through Thanksgiving and Halloween. Pumpkin spice latte uses pumpkin spice mix* and pumpkin puree.
Can chai tea latte be made keto friendly?
To get a keto friendly chai tea latte, replace the sugar or honey with an artificial sweetner. One of my favorite keto friendly sweetner is Monk fruit sugar*, it has zero calories and it tastes so similar to sugar.
How to make vegan chai tea latte?
Simply replace regular milk with any non-dairy milk to make your chai tea lattes vegan. However, non-dairy milk might not froth as well as regular milk so you might not get the signature foam of a chai tea lattee in a vegan one.
