Recipe- Unique Chocolate Tea

Chai tea is my favorite drink at Starbucks, simply because it’s closest in taste to regular Indian masala chai. I am a tea lover and whenever I’m out and need my dose of chai, Starbucks’s chai tea latte comes to my rescue.

While chai tea features regularly on their menu, chocolate chai tea latte was something I had at Starbucks around Thanksgiving last year. The regular chai was flavored with cocoa and being a chocoholic it was one change which I didn’t mind at all.

I did not add any sugar to my chai because I like it that way but you can add as much sugar as you wish to your cup. You can use any chai tea bags of your choice, I used Tazo because that’s what they use at Starbucks and also I prefer it’s taste over other brands.
