FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or coconut can be used, but oat milk gives the creamiest texture and naturally sweet flavor.

Where can I find gingerbread spices?

Gingerbread spices are usually a pre-mixed blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. You can find them in most grocery stores during the fall and winter seasons or make your own by mixing these spices at home.

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Latte

• 1 cup oat milk
• 1 chai tea bag
• 1/2 teaspoon gingerbread spice blend (typically ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice)
• Sweetener to taste (optional, such as maple syrup or brown sugar)

Instructions

1. Heat the Chai Tea: Pour 1 cup of water into a small pot and bring to a simmer. Steep the chai tea bag in the hot water for about 3-5 minutes to extract the strong, spicy flavors.
2. Prepare Gingerbread Spices: While the tea steeps, mix your gingerbread spices or use a pre-made blend to combine the flavors of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.
3. Heat and Froth Oat Milk: In a separate small saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of oat milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling. Add the gingerbread spice blend to the milk to infuse it with flavor. Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to froth the milk until creamy and foamy.
4. Combine Tea and Milk: Remove the chai tea bag and pour the brewed chai into a mug. Slowly add the frothed gingerbread-spiced oat milk, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
5. Sweeten and Serve: Add sweetener of choice if desired and stir well. Garnish with a sprinkle of additional gingerbread spices or cinnamon on top for an extra festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm gingerbread oatmilk chai latte.

Notes

• Adjust gingerbread spices to taste for a more intense or milder flavor.
• Oat milk works best as it froths nicely and complements the spices, but you can substitute with other plant-based milks if desired.
• Steeping chai longer intensifies the spice profile; be careful not to overbrew to avoid bitterness.
• Add a cinnamon stick while heating the oat milk for an extra aroma boost.
• Sweetener is optional depending on your sweetness preference and the chai blend used.
