Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 black tea bags
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- 4 green cardamom pods
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 5 black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
Instructions
Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, cardamom pods, sliced ginger, and black peppercorns.
Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
After 10 minutes, add the vanilla extract and stir well.
Strain the tea mixture through a fine sieve into a large heatproof pitcher, discarding the solids.
In a separate saucepan, heat 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.
Remove the almond milk from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or an immersion blender for a creamy texture.
Pour the strained tea into two mugs, filling them halfway.
Add the warm, frothed almond milk to fill each mug, leaving space for froth on top if desired.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup into each mug, or adjust sweetness to taste.
Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Vegan Chai Tea Latte!
