Cinnamon Chai Latte Bliss - Vegan recipe hero image

There’s something magical about the way spices can transform a simple drink into a warming embrace.

I remember sipping chai lattes in my favorite café during chilly autumn afternoons, dreaming of creating my own version at home.

This recipe is a tribute to those moments, and I love that it’s entirely plant-based and made with whole foods.

Plus, it’s super easy to whip up whenever the craving strikes!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to switch up the spices based on your taste! I sometimes add a pinch of nutmeg or even some turmeric for an extra health boost. If you don't have almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk work beautifully, too!

Tips & Notes

  • I love to make a larger batch and keep it in the fridge. Just reheat it gently when I need a pick-me-up!
  • For an extra creamy texture, blend the latte for a few seconds before serving.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a splash of coconut cream for a richer flavor.
  • If I'm feeling adventurous, I add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist!

Storage & Freezing

This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a quick stir or shake before reheating!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this chai latte without black tea?

Absolutely! You can try using rooibos tea for a caffeine-free version, just keep the spices the same.
