Pour the milk into the Green Tea Chai. Serve with some cookies on the side and enjoy! Tip: Before pouring in the milk, froth it up using an immersion blender, milk frother, whisk or just shake vigorously in a sealed mason jar. Alternatively, you can assemble the complete drink then pour it from cup to cup, to create the foam the traditional way! (This is called "pulling" the tea.)

Optional: to make cafe-style Green tea Chai Latte, sprinkle some cinnamon powder on top of the foamy milk!
