Best Chai Syrup Recipe (Easy)

Chai syrup is incredibly easy to make using a can of sweetened condensed milk and a few spices, making it a delicious alternative to any coffee shop drink you will ever have.

I love a good chai latte, and specifically a dirty chai latte. I am a big coffee girl, so everything comes with a shot of espresso. I found myself asking the barista to add half the chai powder because it was so sweet and my taste buds couldn't handle that much sugar, and my love handles didn't like it either.

One of my good friends is a big fan of chai tea lattes and recently went to India. She mentioned how good the chai was in India, and it was not a powder, but had a sweetened condensed milk consistency. That week, I set out to test multiple recipes and create my own chai syrup.
