Ingredients & Substitutions
Coconut milk is such a star here! It adds creaminess and a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with chai spices. If you’re looking for a nut-free option, you can swap it with oat milk. Just keep an eye on the consistency; you want it to be creamy enough to hold the blend together.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my coconut milk in the fridge overnight before making this—makes it extra creamy!
- •If you want to enjoy this as a dessert, try adding a scoop of your favorite vegan ice cream into the blender!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll throw in a banana for a fruity twist—it adds natural sweetness and makes it even creamier.
- •If I’m feeling fancy, a sprinkle of nutmeg or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top can elevate the experience!
Storage & Freezing
Since this frosty drink is best enjoyed fresh, I wouldn’t recommend storing it. If you have leftovers, give it a quick blend again before sipping, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely! Agave or date syrup are great alternatives. Just adjust the amount to suit your taste.
What if I don’t have chai tea?
You could use any spiced tea or even a mix of spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom if you’re feeling adventurous!

Start by brewing your chai tea. Place the tea bags in a heatproof pitcher or bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes to get all those lovely flavors.

Once your chai is brewed, remove the tea bags and stir in the maple syrup and ground cinnamon. This is where the magic starts happening!

Now, let’s blend! In a blender, combine the brewed chai mixture, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

Blend on high until everything is smooth and frothy—about 30-60 seconds. If you like it thicker, add more ice; if you want it creamier, a splash more coconut milk works wonders.
