For a stronger chai, increase the amount of tea leaves or steep for a longer time. Experiment with different spices! Ginger, cinnamon, or star anise can add unique flavor dimensions. Adjust the sweetness and milk-to-tea ratio to suit your personal taste. For a vegan option, use your favorite plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
