Almond Milk Chai Latte

As the weather cools down, I love to add in more warm drinks, especially in the morning - this almond milk chai latte is a great source of antioxidants 😍 As far as tricks and treats, I love subbing unsweetened nut milks in my drinks! They have great flavor, and also have less fat and sugar than other milks. And a fun way to switch things up instead of your standard coffee order to go? Do it yourself!

This recipe makes 2 servings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other nut / oat milk)

  • 2 black tea bags

  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves

  • 4-8 tsp honey (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat up the almond milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat, until it begins to bubble over the edges of the pan.

  2. Turn off the heat and add tea bags to the pot of hot milk. Wait 3-5 minutes for the tea to steep; then, remove the bags.

  3. Add in cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and honey. Turn the heat to medium; whisk to combine, stirring regularly, until the mixture is hot.

  4. Adjust any seasoning to your taste and serve immediately.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge - serve chilled over ice or reheat on the stove!
