Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 Black tea bags
- 2 Cinnamon sticks
- 4 Whole cloves
- 4 Cardamom pods, lightly crushed
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger, sliced
- 5 Black peppercorns
- 2 cups Non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom pods, sliced ginger, and black peppercorns.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Remove from heat and add the black tea bags to the pan. Let them steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and strain the spiced tea mixture into a clean bowl or jug, discarding the spices.
Pour the non-dairy milk into the same saucepan and warm over medium heat until heated through, but not boiling.
Combine the spiced tea with the warmed milk, adding vanilla extract and maple syrup or honey. Stir well to mix.
If desired, use a frother or whisk to create a light foam on top of the chai latte.
Divide the chai tea latte into two mugs, garnish with additional cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and serve hot.
