Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 black tea bag
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the black tea bags to the saucepan.
Allow the tea bags to steep in the almond milk mixture for 5 minutes, ensuring the mixture stays warm but not boiling.
After 5 minutes, remove the tea bags and stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup until well combined.
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the chai latte until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy.
Divide the chai latte between two mugs and serve warm.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of warmth.
