Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces Cardamom pods
- 2 pieces Cloves
- 3 pieces Black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 packets Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cardamom pods, 2 cloves, 3 black peppercorns, and 0.5 teaspoon of fennel seeds.
Peel and slice a 0.5 inch piece of fresh ginger and add it to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Add 2 black tea bags to the saucepan and continue simmering for another 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into another pot or a large measuring cup to remove the spices.
Return the strained tea to the saucepan. Add 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and stir to combine.
Reheat the mixture over low heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Once heated, remove from heat and stir in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add 2 packets of stevia or monk fruit sweetener, adjusting sweetness to taste.
Pour the chai latte into two cups and serve hot. Optionally, sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top before serving.
