Ingredients
  

Oat Milk Chai from Scratch

  • 2 Black Tea Bags
  • 1 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick (or 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cloves
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Peppercorn
  • 1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger Root chopped
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Coriander

  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Cup Oat Milk

Oat Milk Chai with Tea bags

  • 2 Tea Bags
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Cup Oat Milk

Instructions
 

  • Start the process by crushing the spices in a mortar and pestle.
  • Bring the spices to a boil in a small pot with water and fresh ginger slices. Turn off the heat and add your tea (loose leaf or from teabags) into the pot, cover it with a lid, and allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes.
  • Strain out the tea leaves and spices like cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and star anise then stir in coconut sugar until it’s fully incorporated.
  • Heat the oat milk on the stove or using an electric steamer and froth it with a handheld wand. Note: you can also use a kitchen thermometer to ensure that it reaches 150°F for perfect foaminess.
  • Finally, pour the chai tea into your serving cup and top it with the oat milk. Sprinkle a dash of ground Ceylon cinnamon on top for garnish if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t be tempted to over-steep tea: steeping tea for too long releases more tannins and will cause the tea to taste bitter.
  • Use filtered water whenever possible. Good-tasting water equals good-tasting tea!
  • If you don’t have coconut sugar on hand or if you would prefer to use another sweetener, honey, maple syrup, and even brown sugar are great substitutes.
