Steep chai tea in 1 cup of hot water for 5–7 minutes. Use 2 tea bags for a stronger flavor.
In a small saucepan, heat apple cider over medium heat. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg until warm and fragrant.
In another pan or the microwave, gently warm or froth the milk until steaming.
In a mug, combine brewed chai and spiced cider. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour steamed or frothed milk on top and mix gently.
Garnish with an apple slice or cinnamon stick before serving.

Use coconut milk for a creamier version with tropical flavor.

For a caffeine-free option, use rooibos or decaf chai tea.

Sweeten with extra maple syrup or a touch of brown sugar if desired.

Add caramel drizzle or pumpkin spice for a festive twist.

Use oat milk or barista almond milk for the best froth.
