There's something magical about a warm chai latte that just wraps you up in comfort, don’t you think?
I remember the first time I made this recipe; I was experimenting with different spices in my kitchen, and I stumbled upon this lovely blend.
It turned out to be the perfect pick-me-up, and I've been making it ever since.
The best part?
It's entirely plant-based, so I feel good about every sip.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using unsweetened almond milk for this because it keeps the drink light and allows the spices to shine. If you don’t have almond milk, any plant-based milk will work. Just make sure to avoid the sweetened versions unless you want it on the sweeter side!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my spices in glass jars, which helps them stay fresh for longer and makes my pantry look pretty!
- •If you want a creamier texture, try blending the latte briefly before serving to incorporate some air into it.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth.
- •On chilly days, I love to add a splash of pumpkin puree for a seasonal twist!
Storage & Freezing
This chai latte is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Just give it a good shake before reheating as the spices may settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh spices instead of ground?
Absolutely! If you have fresh ginger or cinnamon sticks, they can add a lovely depth. Just remember to adjust the amounts since fresh spices are usually stronger.
