Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 black tea bags
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 whole star anise (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and water. Stir occasionally and bring just to a simmer.
Once the liquid is simmering, add the black tea bags and steep for 5 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse its flavors.
Remove the tea bags, squeezing them gently to release any remaining liquid, and discard.
Whisk in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg into the tea base.
Add the vanilla extract and sweetener of choice (honey or maple syrup) to the saucepan, and whisk until well combined.
Continue to heat the mixture, ensuring it stays warm, but do not let it come to a rolling boil.
Divide the chai latte between two mugs, straining to remove any spice debris if desired.
Optionally, garnish each serving with a whole star anise for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting Paleo Almond Chai Latte.
