Copycat Starbucks Chai Tea Latte
This Copycat Starbucks Chai Tea Latte is smooth, creamy and just so delectable. No more spending the big bucks out when you can easily make this at home. You’re going to love this, enjoy every last sip!
The first time I made this even I couldn’t believe how much it tasted just like the original from Starbucks.
However, this one was a fraction of the cost and only took me a few minutes to prepare.
Now, when friends come to visit, I surprise them with this warm and soothing drink that I know they will love.
Just a note, in the warmer months, I make this then place in fridge until nice and cold then pour over ice. A delicious ice tea beverage.
You can enjoy this all year round.
