Notes
If you are using a regular chai concentrate, rather than a SUPER chai concentrate, simply do a 1:1 ratio of chai concentrate to milk. For example, 6 ounces of chai concentrate and milk, or 8 ounces of each.
As an alternative to the chocolate topping and sanding sugar sprinkles for the topping, you can crush TWO KinniKritters Animal Cookies and add 1/4 teaspoon cherry powder. Mix together for a similar Starbucks Cherry Crunch Sweet Topping!
