Ingredients

• 2 chai tea bags
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup whole milk (or milk alternative)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup Salted Caramel Crown Royal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for topping
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of sea salt
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the chai tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bags and return the saucepan to medium heat. Add the milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt. Stir well to combine.
3. Heat the mixture until it’s hot but not boiling, then remove from heat.
4. Stir in the Salted Caramel Crown Royal.
5. Pour the chai latte into two mugs, leaving some space at the top for the whipped cream.
6. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or oat milk.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
• If you’re serving this to someone who prefers a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the Salted Caramel Crown Royal and enjoy a classic chai latte.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, let the chai latte cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving, but be sure not to bring it to a boil.

Pairings

This Salted Caramel Crown Royal Chai Latte is beautifully complemented by a slice of warm apple pie, cinnamon rolls, or even a delicate scone. Try pairing it with salted caramel cookies for a delightful treat. For an added touch of coziness, enjoy your chai latte by a warm fireplace or a window with a scenic autumn view.
