Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
