Ingredients & Substitutions
I usually soak my almonds overnight for a creamier milk, but if you’re short on time, a few hours works too! You can also use other nuts like cashews for a different flavor. The spices can be adjusted based on what you have on hand; feel free to get creative!
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
Store your spiced chai almond milk in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Just give it a good shake before using, as it may separate over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
