White Chocolate Chai Latte

Submitted by Mia in Germany

"This is made with green tea, not with black. Not exactly a very classical chai, but made out of a sudden green tea - cardamom - latte - craving. It turned out much better than I ever hoped it would! I used rice milk, but will post it just with "milk", use what matches your needings."
