Equipment

  • 1 Espresso Machine or Moka pot

Ingredients

  • 1 shot of espresso from a medium-dark roast
  • 8 oz steamed milk your choice, but whole milk enhances the creaminess
  • 1 chai tea bag or 1 tsp of loose chai blend
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg plus extra for garnish
  • Sweetener to taste sugar, honey, or maple syrup work well
  • A dash of vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Begin by brewing your shot of espresso into a large mug.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk but don’t let it boil.
  • Add the chai tea bag or loose chai blend to the milk, allowing it to steep for about 4-5 minutes. If you’re using loose chai, remember to strain it out after.
  • Mix in the ground nutmeg and sweetener, stirring until well combined.
  • Remove the tea bag (if used) and pour the chai-infused milk into the mug over the espresso.
  • Add a dash of vanilla extract if desired and give a gentle stir.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
