Now, the milk. This isn’t a splash. A chai latte is mostly milk, about half the cup. Whole milk makes it creamy and luxurious. Oat milk? That’s the new rock star—sweet, thick, and a little nutty.
Almond milk is a rebel. It separates sometimes, leaving you with weird floaty bits. Soy milk? It works, but it whispers “I tried too hard.” Just go with oat milk, okay? Your taste buds will thank you.
The foam factor
Here’s the secret: the milk is steamed until it’s velvety. You want microfoam, not giant bubbles. That’s what makes the latte part of “chai latte” real.
No foam? That’s just sweet tea with a sad attitude. So demand that cloud-like top. It’s non-negotiable.
