There’s something so soothing about sipping a warm cup of chai, especially when it’s infused with cinnamon and coconut!
I remember the first time I made this latte on a chilly autumn morning; the aroma filled my kitchen, and I felt instantly uplifted.
This recipe is my go-to for a little self-care, and I hope it brings you as much joy as it does for me.
Plus, it’s super simple to whip up while you’re getting your day started or winding down in the evening.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I absolutely love using full-fat coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture, but if you're looking for something lighter, go for light coconut milk. You can also use almond milk, but it won't be as creamy. And if you don’t have chai tea bags, you can use a mix of black tea with spices like cardamom, cloves, and star anise.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my spices in a glass jar—they stay fresh for ages and are easy to grab when I'm in the kitchen.
- •If you want a little extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper—it's a delightful surprise!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a bit of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist—it’s like a chai hot chocolate!
- •If I'm feeling indulgent, I’ll top it with some coconut whipped cream for a treat.
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to two days. Just give it a good shake or stir before reheating, as the coconut milk may separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this caffeine-free?
