Where to Find Authentic Chai Tea Lattes in The Treasure Valley Iced soy chai tea lattes are one of my FAVORITE drinks. They're most popular in the colder months but I could drink them year round and I do. No diss to Starbucks because my loyalty lies deep there, but there is a real taste difference between that of a chai tea concentrate mixed with some almond milk and an authentic chai tea latte made from real tea bags and spices. Where in the Treasure Valley can I find the best-tasting authentic chia tea latte? A typical recipe for a real chai tea latte includes black tea bags, sugar, water, milk, and chai spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise. You can make them at home using online recipes such as this one or you can find a local coffee shop that will whip one up for you which is my personal mission here today. Chai tea lattes are actually pretty basic so you won't have a hard time finding them on the menu at basically every coffee shop.
