Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk for its creamy texture, but any plant-based milk will do! If you want a richer flavor, try coconut milk. And don't skimp on the maple syrup – it really enhances the natural sweetness without being overly sugary. You can also experiment with the spices to suit your taste!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my spices in airtight jars to keep them fresh and flavorful.
- •If you want a little extra sweetness, try adding a dash of your favorite sweetener, like agave or date syrup.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of pumpkin puree for a seasonal twist.
- •You can also switch up the spices; cardamom and star anise make a lovely addition!
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. I like to give it a quick stir to mix everything back together before enjoying it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh ginger instead of ground?
Absolutely! I often use fresh ginger, just peel and grate about a teaspoon, and add it when you simmer the water.
What if I don't have chai tea bags?
No worries! Just use loose leaf chai or make your own blend with black tea and spices.
