Chai-Spiced Almond Latte - Vegan recipe hero image

There’s something truly magical about a warm drink that feels both comforting and invigorating at the same time.

This Chai-Spiced Almond Latte has become a staple in my kitchen, especially during those brisk mornings when I need a little pick-me-up.

I remember the first time I made it; the aroma filled my home and made it feel so inviting.

Plus, it’s super easy to whip up with just a few wholesome ingredients.

Trust me, your kitchen will smell heavenly!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using unsweetened almond milk because it keeps the latte light and lets the spices shine through. If you want to use another plant milk, go for it! Coconut or oat milk works beautifully too. Just adjust the sweetness according to your taste, especially if you’re using a sweetened variety.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my chai spices in a small glass jar; they stay fresh for weeks and make it easy to whip up this latte anytime.
  • If you want a creamy texture, consider blending the almond milk with a little cashew cream before adding your spices.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I like to mix in a tablespoon of cacao powder for a chocolatey twist; it’s divine!
  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a splash of pumpkin puree in the fall for a chai-pumpkin latte vibe!

Storage & Freezing

This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake or whisk to re-froth before warming it up again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh spices instead of ground?

Absolutely! Freshly grated ginger and whole spices can add a depth of flavor. Just remember to strain them out before serving.

    For an extra frothy latte, you can use a milk frother or simply whisk the mixture vigorously until it’s frothy.

  5. 5

    Pour the latte into your favorite mugs, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on top, and enjoy it while it's warm!
