Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 pieces black tea bags
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water and full-fat coconut milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, add the black tea bags to the saucepan. Allow them to steep for about 5 minutes, or until the desired strength is achieved. Remove the tea bags afterward.
Reduce the heat to low and add in the ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine the spices into the liquid.
Add the vanilla extract and raw honey to the saucepan, continuing to stir until the honey is fully dissolved and all ingredients are well blended.
Use a whisk to gently froth the mixture if desired, creating a frothy top layer.
Pour the chai latte into two mugs and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
