Are you ready to start your day with some warmth and a little sass? Let’s journey into the world of spices and sweetness with a recipe that tingles your taste buds and warms your soul— the Coconut Chai Tea Latte! 🍵✨
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of bold black peppercorns
- 8 fragrant cardamom pods
- 8 warm whole cloves
- 2 aromatic cinnamon sticks
- Optional: A 2-inch piece of zesty fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 6 bags of robust black tea
- 1 cup of creamy whole or 2-percent milk
- 1 cup of tropical unsweetened regular or low fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup of sweet light brown muscovado sugar
Let’s Get Brewing!
- Start by giving your peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon a little crush-crush love in a medium saucepan. When you’re feeling zingy, throw in that ginger!
- Pour in 6 cups of cold water and crank up the heat. Bring it to a rolling boil and then take a breather—remove it from the heat.
- It’s tea time! Add those tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes. Say goodbye to the bags and let the spices continue their steeping sesh for another 10 minutes.
- In another saucepan, mix the milks and muscovado sugar. Warm it up until it’s just about to simmer—no boiling over!
- Strain the spiced water into your milky mix and give it a minute to get to know each other on the heat.
- Grab your whisk and go to town until it’s frothy and fabulous.
- Pour the magic into 4 mugs and garnish with a cinnamon stick because you’re fancy like that.
And there you have it, a delicious homemade coconut chai tea latte that’s so good you’ll be smiling with every sip. Share it with friends, or keep it all to yourself, enjoy this cozy little cup of love and let it warm your soul.
Cheers to Chai and Soulful Vibes! 🤩
