Spiced Maple Chai Latte

I remember the first time I made this chai latte on a rainy afternoon, watching the droplets race down the window while the spices simmered on the stove.
There's something so grounding about the scent of chai – it always takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen, where she infused love into every cup.
