Notes

To make your own vanilla syrup, simply add 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1.5 tablespoons of vanilla extract to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off, and let cool. Store in a refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

You can add additional simple syrup to the chai latte, but please note that the concentrate is already sweetened. You can use other brands, but the chai concentrate is the brand that Starbucks uses.
