What Spices Are In a Chai Latte
For this vegan chai latte, we use two chai tea bags and leave them to steep to get that rich, fragrant flavour. But we also create a homemade chai spice blend to whisk into the homemade latte as well as to top it with, in the last step. The spices used in this chai latte are cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice and cloves. These earthy spices complement one another perfectly and give off that aromatic and rich flavour every chai latte needs.
What Is The Best Milk For a Vegan Latte
For all my vegan lattes my go-to frothy milk is from Earth’s Own. I will use the oat barista blend or the soy version. Both froth really well and have never let me down. I highly suggest if you don’t have a milk frother, get one because it really just makes any homemade latte that much better. If you do have a frother, you can completely skip the “blender” steps in this recipe and simply steep the tea, add the maple syrup and spices and then top with the milk. I add the blender steps as it mimics frothy milk for people who don’t have a milk frother. That being said, it does not blend the milk into a thick and creamy foam as a frother would.
Homemade Chai Spice Blend
This recipe creates more than enough homemade chai spice blend. This is great because the next time you make this chai latte you don’t have to throw together the spices. This chai spice blend also is delicious in fall baking. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice and cloves are the main stars of this chai spice. They are warm, a tad spicy and the perfect blend for any chai recipe.
