[Dairy-Free] Chai Tea Latte
My grandma got me the coolest tea set for Christmas. And no, not the pink pretend tea set that you get when you’re 5 five and then have a super rad pretend tea party with your stuffed animals and baby dolls.
Not that I did that or anything.
This is a chai tea steeper that it pretty much the coolest invention in the history of ever. Okay, maybe except for sliced bread. But you catch my drift. It came with a nifty little tea steeper contraption, some really delicious loose chai tea leaves and the prettiest glass mugs. My grandma sure knows how to gift!
You guys know about my undying love for coffee, which will of course never end, but in recent times I have really grown to love chai tea. Specifically in latte form. And today, I’m bringing you a revolutionary (cough, laugh) recipe for a simple and healthy chai latte.
This is obviously not revolutionary, and I’m no genius, but I just really love this particular combination and I thought that it would only be right to share it with you guys, my favorite invisible internet friends. My favorite way to enjoy this latte is with a little bit of almond or coconut milk and a tiny bit of coconut sugar or stevia for sweetness. That’s it! So simple, comforting and delicious.
Now go put your favorite winter socks on and curl up with a chai latte and a good book.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp loose leaf chai tea blend
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk of choice (almond or coconut)
- 1-2 tsp sweetener (coconut sugar, stevia, maple syrup)
- sprinkle of cinnamon --> optional
Instructions
- Place the tea leaves in a tea steeper or jar.
- In a teapot or small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, pour the water over the tea leaves, cover and let steep for 3-4 minutes.
- Strain out the tea leaves and add the milk and sweetener.
- Pour the tea between two tea glasses and enjoy!
What a wonderful gift! I adore chai lattes, and make them almost every afternoon – but they never come out as thick and luxurious as this one.
Thanks girl! They are always thickest when I use coconut milk, my favorite 🙂
