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.
