Easy Chai Latte (No Refined Sugar!)
You’re going to love this chai latte recipe made without refined sugar. It tastes better than the kind you’d buy at Starbucks and is made with simple pantry ingredients, so you won't need to make an extra trip to the grocery store to get started. Once you taste this recipe, you'll never want to go back to the store-bought version! Your wallet (and taste buds) will thank you.
Ingredients
Instructions
Place the two tea bags in a heat-safe mug and pour 1 cup of boiled water over them. Let them steep for 3 to 5 minutes while you proceed with the next step.
Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, whisking often. When the milk around the edges of the pan starts to bubble, turn off the heat.
Remove the tea bags and pour the brewed tea into the saucepan with the milk and spices. Add the maple syrup and whisk until well combined. Carefully taste test the latte (it's hot!) and make any adjustments you see fit. You can add more maple syrup for a sweeter flavor or an extra pinch of cloves for more spice.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to catch any excess spices as you pour the chai latte into two mugs. Serve warm right away. I think this has the best flavor when it's not piping hot, so it's okay if it cools down slightly!
