This warm, cozy drink is my go-to for chilly afternoons, bringing together the comforting spices of chai with the nutty flavor of almond milk.
There’s something truly special about curling up with a cup of chai, especially when it’s infused with cinnamon and almond goodness.
I remember sipping this while watching the rain outside, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using unsweetened almond milk here because it allows the spices to shine through without being overly sweet. If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to swap in oat or coconut milk - each brings its own charm to the latte. Just remember to check for added sugars if you’re keeping it whole-foods based!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my spices in small glass jars - they stay fresh and it’s easy to grab what I need.
- •Don’t skip the vanilla extract; it adds a lovely depth to the flavor.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a few cloves or even a star anise for an extra layer of flavor.
- •Feeling adventurous? Add a splash of espresso for a chai latte with a caffeine kick!
Storage & Freezing
