Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1 piece Black tea bag
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Whole cardamom pods
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 pieces Whole cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, ground ginger, cloves, and ground black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water.
Add the black tea bag to the saucepan and steep for 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred strength of tea.
Remove the tea bag and discard. Then, add the almond milk and maple syrup to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Continue to heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Strain the chai latte into a mug to remove the whole spices, if desired.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Optional: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
