Ingredients & Substitutions
You can totally switch up the milk to oat or soy if that’s what you have on hand. I’ve even made it with coconut milk for a creamier texture! If you like your chai sweeter, feel free to add more maple syrup or even a splash of your favorite sweetener.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my spices in glass jars - they stay fresh and I love how they look on my shelf!
- •If you want to get fancy, try frothing the milk before adding it; it gives a nice texture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of pumpkin puree and some pumpkin pie spice in the fall for a seasonal twist.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good shake before reheating, as the spices might settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this chai latte ahead of time?
