Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1 piece Black tea bag
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Whole cardamom pods
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 pieces Whole cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, ground ginger, cloves, and ground black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water.
Step 3
Add the black tea bag to the saucepan and steep for 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred strength of tea.
Step 4
Remove the tea bag and discard. Then, add the almond milk and maple syrup to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Continue to heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Strain the chai latte into a mug to remove the whole spices, if desired.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Optional: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
