Spiced Chai Coconut Milk is one of those recipes that just feels like a hug in a mug.
I remember the first time I made it during a chilly autumn morning when the leaves were just starting to turn.
The aroma of the spices filled my kitchen, and it brought back memories of sipping chai with friends at a little café back in the day.
I love making this when I want to slow down and savor the moment.
It’s a simple way to nourish myself with a little bit of joy.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Coconut milk really makes this drink creamy and rich. If you're looking for a lighter version, you could try using a lighter coconut milk or almond milk, but it won't be as rich. I often keep a can of coconut milk in my pantry for moments like this!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to make a big batch and keep it in the fridge. It warms up beautifully in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- •If you have any leftover chai, pour it over ice for a refreshing iced chai later!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I throw in a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth.
- •You could also blend in some cacao powder for a chocolatey twist!
Storage & Freezing
This chai coconut milk can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. Just give it a good shake or stir before you heat it up again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different milk alternative?
Absolutely! Almond milk or oat milk would work, but the flavor will be different. Coconut milk gives it that signature creaminess.

Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water. Heat over medium heat until it's just starting to steam.
- 2
Once the mixture is warm, add the black tea bags and let them steep for about 5 minutes. I usually keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't boil.
- 3
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Taste it and adjust the sweetness if you like.
- 4
Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes to really meld those flavors together. If you want, you can whisk it a bit for a frothy texture!

Pour the chai into mugs and enjoy it warm. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick if you're feeling fancy.
