This Crock Pot Chai Latte recipe is the perfect cold-weather drink when you have company visiting during the holidays.

Masala Chai or Chai Tea

Masala Chai is a tea beverage from India that is made by brewing strong black tea with Indian spices like cardamom, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and peppercorns.

Some Masala Chai recipes also included star anise and fennel.

Depending on who is doing the Chai brewing the spices in a Chai tea can vary.

What is the difference between Masala Chai and Chai Tea?

Masala Chai and what we Americans call Chai tea are one and the same.

Masala Chai translated means mixed spiced tea.

Chai means milk tea.

Masala Chai is a mixed spiced tea with milk.

How to froth milk without a milk frother?

Making homemade drinks like a Chai Latte at home just wouldn't be the same without a frothy head of warm foamy milk on top.

You can pick up an (affiliate)  inexpensive milk frother in most big retail stores.

Even if you don't own a milk frother it is easy to froth milk at home.

My Ninja Coffeemaker (read about my DIY Ninja Coffee Bar here) has a milk frother built in.

It makes frothing milk for all my favorite coffee house drinks easy.

If you do not have a milk frother pour one cup of milk into a saucepan and warm until bubbles begin to form along the edges of the milk.

Remove the pan from the heat and use a wire whisk to whisk the warm milk until frothy.

Helpful Tips to help make Crock Pot Chai Latte

  • Tea bags are more convenient but you can use an equivalent amount of loose black tea. You'll need a tea ball if you use loose black tea and one for the spices.
  • If using a tea ball for the spices place all of the smaller spices into the tea ball. The cinnamon stick may be added to the crock pot and allowed to float. They can easily be removed from the crock pot when serving.
  • The amount of time for the spices and tea to heat is very flexible. It only takes a couple of hours for the black tea and spices to get hot. You can heat until the tea is hot and the spices have infused the tea to your liking. Then switch the crock pot on warm and add the milk. Once the milk has been added you can keep the chai tea hot by leaving the crock pot on the warm setting.
  • Starting the crock pot on high allows you to serve the Chai Latte much quicker if you are in a hurry.
  • Adding warmed milk will keep the Chai Latte warm for serving. You may allow the milk to come to room temperature before adding it to the Chai tea in the crock pot.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spices used. If you like a warmer spicier chai latte increase the amount of warm spices-whole cloves, peppercorns, and ginger are warmer spices. Experiment until you find the perfect combination of Chai spices that you enjoy.

Supplies needed to make Crock Pot Chai Latte

  • 6-quart crock pot: since we are making Crock Pot Chai you will need a crock pot.
  • cinnamon sticks: use fresh cinnamon sticks that are fragrant.
  • whole cloves:
  • whole green cardamom pods
  • Loose tea ball: you can use a tea ball to hold the smaller spices or a square of food-grade Cheese cloth
  • Ladle: You will need a ladle to transfer the Chai Latte to mugs.
  • Wire whisk: you can froth the milk with a whisk if you do not have a milk frother.
  • Milk Frother: Milk frothers are a fun little tool to have on hand when you enjoy topping your hot drinks with frothed milk.
  • Latte Mugs:

    Website feedback: I really hate the sidebar notice “Do not sell or share my Information”. Does it have to be located there? It interferes with the view pretty significantly.
