Ingredients
Chai Latte Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened light coconut milk
- 1 tsp homemade chai spice mix (see recipe link below)
- 2-3 tsp pure maple syrup
- Cinnamon (for garnish)
- Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the Coconut Milk: In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, warm the coconut milk until it is lightly simmering, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
- Prepare the Mixture: Pour the warmed coconut milk into a large mug or a glass measuring cup. Add the maple syrup and chai spice mix to the milk.
- Froth the Latte: Use an electric frother to froth the mixture until it becomes slightly foamy. If an electric frother isn’t available, whisk vigorously by hand or use a hand mixer to create a light foam on top.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the frothy chai latte into a warm mug. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and ground nutmeg to enhance the flavor and aroma. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your preferred level of sweetness.
- The homemade chai spice mix can be substituted with a store-bought chai spice blend if desired.
- For a richer drink, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light.
- To make it vegan and dairy-free, ensure your chai spice mix contains no animal-derived ingredients.
- Electric frother alternatives include shaking the mixture vigorously in a sealed jar if no mixer is available.
