Spiced Chai Turmeric Latte
This latte is my cozy go-to for those chilly mornings when I want a warm hug in a cup. The blend of spices and turmeric has a way of soothing both body and soul.
I first fell in love with chai lattes during a trip to a quaint little café in the mountains.
The aroma of spices filled the air, and I knew I had to recreate that magic at home.
This Spiced Chai Turmeric Latte is not just a drink; it’s a comforting ritual for me.
I love how the turmeric gives it this golden glow and all those lovely health benefits!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk for its lightness, but oat milk or coconut milk works beautifully too. If you're sensitive to caffeine, feel free to use a caffeine-free herbal tea instead of black tea.
Tips & Notes
- •I always keep a batch of my chai spice mix ready to go—just combine the spices in a jar, and it saves time when I want a quick latte.
- •If you want more froth, you can use a milk frother to whip up the almond milk before adding it to the tea.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll swap the maple syrup for agave or even a date for a whole-food sweetener.
- •For a chocolatey twist, add a teaspoon of cacao powder for a Spiced Chai Mocha!
Storage & Freezing
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store the latte in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before reheating, and enjoy within a couple of days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
