The Casabrew is my go-to espresso machine because it is cheap (compared to others) and small, so it fits in every crevice of your kitchen!
I also have the Ultima Cosa espresso machine from Walmart (shown in this picture). Though the wand is not as strong as the Casabrew and it is a bit larger due to the built-in grinder.

Instructions
Step 1
Add a chai tea bag into hot water and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Remove tea bag and put chai tea in the fridge (this is optional but allows your ice to not melt as quick!)
Step 2
Prepare double-shot of espresso:
With espresso machine: add brown sugar and chai powder to the bottom of your espresso cup and then prepare a normal double shot the same way you normally would.
Without espresso machine: prepare an instant shot of espresso (2x) according to packaging. With a double-shot it should come out to around 1/4 a cup of espresso. Once shot is made, add brown sugar and chai powder, and mix it in until combined.
Step 3
Add ice to a container with a lid and pour espresso over ice. Attach lid and shake espresso and ice together.
Step 4
Add espresso and ice into your desired cup.
Add chai tea and creamer over espresso and you are done!
Step 5
I then love to add my favorite glass straws!
Enjoy!
