Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using homemade almond milk when I can; it’s creamier and tastier than store-bought. If you don't have chai spice, you can easily make your own by mixing cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. And if you want a little kick, try adding a pinch of black pepper!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to double the recipe and store half in the fridge for a quick drink the next day.
- •If you want it extra creamy, blend the almond milk with the spices after heating; it gives a frothy texture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a teaspoon of raw cacao for a chocolaty twist; it’s like a chai hot chocolate!
- •You could throw in a few dates while blending for a natural sweetener if you prefer a whole-food approach.
Storage & Freezing
This elixir is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Just give it a good shake or reheat it gently on the stove before enjoying again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other plant milks?

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk and chai spice blend. Whisk them together over medium heat until the mixture is warm, but don’t let it boil.
- 2
Once heated, add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all those lovely flavors.
- 3
Let the mixture simmer gently for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the spices infuse beautifully into the almond milk.
- 4
Once it’s warmed through, remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve if you want a smoother texture, but I usually skip this step for a rustic feel.

Pour the elixir into your favorite mugs, and sprinkle a little extra chai spice on top for a beautiful finish. Enjoy it warm!
