Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 5 cardamom pods
- 3 black peppercorns
- 1 inch piece, sliced fresh ginger
- 1 whole star anise
- 2 black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Start by making almond milk: Soak 1 cup of raw almonds in water for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds. In a high-speed blender, combine almonds with 4 cups of fresh water.
Step 3
Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
Step 4
Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside the almond milk.
Step 5
In a saucepan, combine the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, sliced ginger, and star anise.
Step 6
Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to release the flavors.
Step 7
Add 2 black tea bags to the saucepan, and continue to simmer for 2 more minutes.
Step 8
Strain the spiced tea mixture into a clean pan or bowl.
Step 9
Return the strained tea to the saucepan and add 2 cups of the prepared almond milk. Heat gently until hot, but do not let it boil.
Step 10
Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 11
Serve hot, pouring your Paleo Almond Milk Chai Latte into mugs, and enjoy the warming, spicy flavors!
