A chai tea latte is typically made with warm milk, black tea, sweetener and a combination of ginger, peppercorns, cinnamon and cardamom. It is an alternative to coffee and coffee drinks, because black tea contains caffeine. The amount you drink and the method used to make the chai tea influences the amount of caffeine you are consuming.
