• 5 black peppercorns
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, cardamom pods, sliced ginger, and black peppercorns.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.

Step 4

After 10 minutes, add the vanilla extract and stir well.

Step 5

Strain the tea mixture through a fine sieve into a large heatproof pitcher, discarding the solids.

Step 6

In a separate saucepan, heat 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.

Step 7

Remove the almond milk from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or an immersion blender for a creamy texture.

Step 8

Pour the strained tea into two mugs, filling them halfway.

Step 9

Add the warm, frothed almond milk to fill each mug, leaving space for froth on top if desired.

Step 10

Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup into each mug, or adjust sweetness to taste.

Step 11

Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Vegan Chai Tea Latte!
