Description

This Homemade Coconut Chai Latte is a comforting and dairy-free beverage made with light coconut milk, fragrant chai spices, and a touch of pure maple syrup. Perfect for a quick, cozy drink that combines exotic flavors with a creamy texture, this latte is easy to prepare on the stovetop and customized to your preferred sweetness.

Ingredients

Drink Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened light coconut milk
  • 1 tsp homemade Chai Spice Mix (see recipe link below)
  • 2-3 tsp pure maple syrup
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
  • Ground nutmeg (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Warm the Coconut Milk: In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, gently warm the unsweetened light coconut milk until it reaches a light simmer. Be careful not to boil the milk to preserve its delicate flavor and creaminess.
  2. Add Flavorings: Pour the warmed coconut milk into a large mug or glass measuring cup. Stir in the pure maple syrup to your desired sweetness, then add the homemade chai spice mix, blending the flavors evenly.
  3. Froth the Mixture: Use an electric frother to froth the mixture until it becomes slightly foamy. If you don’t have a frother, vigorously whisk the mixture by hand or use a hand mixer to whip it lightly, creating a velvety texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the frothy chai latte into a warm mug. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to enhance the aroma and add extra spice notes. Enjoy your cozy, dairy-free coconut chai latte!

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • The chai spice mix can be homemade using cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black peppercorns for authentic flavor.
  • For a colder variation, allow the latte to cool and serve over ice.
  • Make sure to warm the coconut milk gently to avoid curdling or burning.
  • Use light coconut milk for a less rich, lower-fat latte but full-fat coconut milk can be used for creamier texture.
