Place tea bag in a large coffee cup. Cover with 1 cup boiling water and let steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
Discard tea bag, then add hot espresso to tea.
Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of chai tea mix (to taste).
Microwave milk until hot (about 45 seconds), then froth using a milk frother (or shake in a sealed mason jar).
Add frothed milk to drink, then sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
I make my own chai tea syrup. It's a delicious combination of spices and sweetened condensed milk. Best of all, it's ready in minutes!Plant-based milks also work great for this recipe. Try it with soy, oat milk, or coconut milk.The chai tea mix is also super tasty mixed with regular coffee ... no tea required!Iced Dirty Chai - Prefer iced coffee? You can easily turn this recipe into an cold drink instead. Here's how:
Place tea bag in a large coffee cup. Cover with 1 cup boiling water and let steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove tea bag, then place cup in freezer, and chill tea until cold.
Fill a large, tall glass ¾ full with ice. Pour tea over ice.
Combine 2 shots espresso with 1 to 2 tbsp chai tea mix (to taste), then add mixture to iced tea.
