Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 1 tea bag chai tea
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of cashew milk, 1 tea bag of chai tea, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, ice cubes, and ground cinnamon for garnish.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cashew milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the cashew milk is warm, remove it from the heat and add the chai tea bag. Allow the tea to steep in the warm cashew milk for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.
- After steeping, remove the tea bag and stir in the maple syrup until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more syrup if desired.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes to the brim. Slowly pour the chai-infused cashew milk over the ice, allowing it to chill and mix.
- Finally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish. You can also add a cinnamon stick if you want an extra touch.
- Your Iced Cashew Chai Latte is now ready to enjoy! Stir well before drinking and savor the delicious flavors.
Tips
- Choose Your Chai: Experiment with different chai tea bags to find your favorite blend. Whether you prefer a traditional masala chai or a more modern version, the choice can significantly impact the flavor of your latte.
- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference. You can also try alternatives like honey or agave syrup for a different twist.
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring in the iced latte.
- Garnish Creatively: While ground cinnamon is a great garnish, consider adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a few cardamom pods for an exotic flair.
- Make It Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan, but ensure that your maple syrup is pure and not mixed with any animal products.
- Batch It Up: If you’re hosting friends, double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd. Just keep the proportions consistent for a delicious group treat!
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of cocoa powder for a unique flavor profile that complements the chai.
