Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 pieces chai tea bags
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium flame until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
Add the chai tea bags to the saucepan, ensuring they are fully submerged in the almond milk. Let them steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the milk.
Step 3
Remove the tea bags from the saucepan, gently squeezing out any extra liquid back into the pan. Discard the tea bags.
Step 4
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and add the vanilla protein powder to the saucepan, whisking thoroughly to dissolve any clumps.
Step 5
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves, ensuring all the spices are well incorporated.
Step 6
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mix, stirring constantly until the latte is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a frothy top if desired.
Step 8
Divide the chai latte evenly into two mugs, serving hot. Optionally dust with extra cinnamon for garnish and enjoy!
