Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 pieces chai tea bags
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium flame until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Add the chai tea bags to the saucepan, ensuring they are fully submerged in the almond milk. Let them steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the milk.
Remove the tea bags from the saucepan, gently squeezing out any extra liquid back into the pan. Discard the tea bags.
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and add the vanilla protein powder to the saucepan, whisking thoroughly to dissolve any clumps.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves, ensuring all the spices are well incorporated.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mix, stirring constantly until the latte is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a frothy top if desired.
Divide the chai latte evenly into two mugs, serving hot. Optionally dust with extra cinnamon for garnish and enjoy!
