Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes
- •I keep my spiced chai almond milk in a glass jar in the fridge, and it stays good for about 4-5 days.
- •If you want a creamier consistency, simply blend in a bit more almonds or reduce the water.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth.
- •You could swap out the maple syrup for agave or date syrup if that's what you have.
Storage & Freezing
