Yum! I love chai! Way better than coffee. Gonna make this all the time.
Is there really a difference if I don’t use fresh ginger? Can I just use powder? Asking for a friend.
I thought this would be hard, but it was super easy! I used almond milk instead, and it still tasted great.
Wow, almond milk? Didn’t think that would work! Glad it turned out good for you!
Just made this! kinda basic, but okay 3/5
This chai latte is absolutely amazing! The spices blend so well together. Perfect on a rainy day.
Hmm, is it really that great? My chai never tastes like the cafe’s. Maybe I’m doin it wrong? 🤔
I tried this recipe and it turned out fantastic! I love how the spices pop! Perfect for cozy nights.
I don’t think it tastes like the chai from my favorite cafe. Might be the spices? I wasn’t impressed.
Too much cardamom for my taste! I reduced it next time but still didn’t like it much.
