Spiced Chai Coconut Latte - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made this Spiced Chai Coconut Latte on a chilly autumn afternoon.

The aroma of the spices wafting through my kitchen felt like a warm hug!

It’s such a simple recipe, but it always lifts my spirits.

Plus, it’s a wonderful way to savor the flavors of chai while nourishing my body with wholesome ingredients.

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 really love using full-fat coconut milk for this latte; it gives it such a rich texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can use light coconut milk, but I find it doesn’t have the same creaminess. And feel free to experiment with different sweeteners—agave or date syrup can work beautifully too!

Tips & Notes

  • I often make a double batch and save some for later in the fridge—just reheat it gently when I want a cozy treat!
  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of cacao powder for a mocha twist—so good!
  • You could also blend in a banana for a creamier texture and a natural sweetness—super nourishing!

Storage & Freezing

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just give it a gentle stir or warm it up before enjoying again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of milk?

Absolutely! Almond milk or oat milk would work, but keep in mind the flavor will change a bit. Just make sure it's unsweetened if you're watching sugar.
