Homemade Chai Latte

Chai Lattes reminds me of the best parts of winter.  This Homemade Chai Latte is  warm and the perfect drink to cozy up to with a book at the fireplace. My friend Chetna is from India and I asked her how she makes hers because I wanted a recipe that tastes better than the packaged syrups.  I also wanted it to be somewhat authentic. She told me what spices to put into it and I chose the amounts based on my taste preferences. If there is any of the  spices you don’t like you can leave it out and no one will judge you.
