So if you try to add all these things it'll taste like the real thing. However, the 'natural flavors' seems like a coverup for some secret ingredient. so maybe it will be a good replica, but not a copy. let us know what you make. this $5 carton is cheaper, but still a ripoff!

there is a company in brooklyn which is selling it for 3 bucks, the only catch is that either you hv to pick it ur self on weekdays or you have to pay shipping charges, however the shipping in nyc is free if you order more then 50$, that's wat i do :S

I don't think you can get this concentrate from the UK can you? anyone know? I don't live near a starbucks and I would love to be able to buy this concentrate or any other that i can use to recreate delicious starbucks beverages in the comfort of my own home!

Heat up milk with brown sugar according to your taste. IN a seperate pan, boil and simmer some water and a tea bag with whole garam masala like a peppercorn, a tiny piece of cinnamon stick, ilaichi, laung etc. Let this simmer for a while. Then take out the masala and tea bag and combine with the milk. I think the key is to not let the tea and masalas simmer in milk since that would make it stronger and bitter, mroe like desi version of chai. This way it has a lighter taste.

I dont think i am ever again going to buy it from there, its so easy to make.

kewll
Ira, I will just try it out today and let you know how it turned out for me!

Ira I tried your recipe Fri night, I've to say it was pretty darn close to the real thing! Perhaps mine wasn't as frothy as the one they serve at stars, but the taste was the real thing! I did as you said but made the following changes: I simmered the water with the tea bag minus the spices. The spices I added in the milk itself.. without that I felt that the chai latte wasn't flavored enough (or perhaps my spices were a little mild..)

Eitherways, it was a treat! Thanks for sharing!!
