Turmeric Chai Elixir - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I sipped on this Turmeric Chai Elixir during a chilly autumn afternoon.

The aroma of spices wafting through my kitchen was enough to lift my spirits.

I love how this drink not only warms me up but also fills me with vibrant energy, thanks to the healing properties of turmeric and ginger.

It’s truly a soothing ritual I cherish, especially when I want to take a moment for myself.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Turmeric is such a powerhouse with its anti-inflammatory properties, and the black pepper helps your body absorb it better, which is why I always add it! If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to swap it out for oat or soy milk. You can also play around with the spices to match your personal preference.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to keep a jar of my spice mix ready to go for quick preparation!
  • This elixir also works great in a thermos, so you can take it on the go.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!
  • You could try adding a bit of cardamom for a unique twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remember to give it a good shake or stir before warming it up again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make a larger batch and store it in the fridge. Just reheat gently when you're ready to enjoy.
