Easy Chai Latte with Almond Milk
This easy chai latte is made with almond milk and is sweetened with maple syrup! Making a chai latte at home is easier than you might think and it only takes a few ingredients. This homemade chai latte recipe is also dairy free.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chai tea bags
- 3/4 cup water hot
- 1 1/2-2 cups almond milk
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup or to taste
- Reddi-wip® Almond Non-dairy whipped topping
- cinnamon or extra spices for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Steep chai tea bags in hot water for 10-12 minutes or so (if you prefer your chai a little less intense, you can either use more water, steep for less time or both).
- Remove the tea bags and split the chai tea in two mugs (larger sized mugs).
- Add about 1/2 Tbsp of maple syrup (more or less depending upon how sweet you like your chai lattes) to each mug.
- Heat almond milk until it is almost ready to boil (depending upon how big your mugs are, you can use anywhere from 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups of almond milk).
- Transfer to a bowl or cup where you can use a handheld electric milk frother. Alternatively, you can use a french press to froth your milk; pour the milk in your french press and pump the handle up and down until the milk begins to froth.*
- Divide the almond milk between the two mugs.
- Top each chai latter with Reddi-wip® Almond Non-dairy whipped topping. Sprinkle with cinnamon or other spices if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
*If you do not have an electric frother or french press, you do not need to froth the milk. You can heat the milk and pour it into your drink. However, you might need to use a little more milk, as frothing gives milk a bit more body/volume.
