¼teaspoonGround cinnamon0.5 g
⅛teaspoonGround ginger0.25 g
⅛teaspoonGround cardamom0.25 g
Ground clovesA pinch, 0.1 g
Ground nutmegA pinch, 0.1 g
½teaspoonVanilla extract2.5 ml
Instructions
Begin by gently heating the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not allow it to boil to prevent curdling.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the almond milk.
Submerge the chai tea bag in the milk mixture, ensuring it's fully immersed. Leave the tea bag to steep for about 4 minutes to infuse the milk with the chai flavors.
Remove the tea bag, squeezing out any excess milk back into the saucepan.
Stir in the erythritol or chosen keto-friendly sweetener, blending until it is completely dissolved.
Add the ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Whisk the spices into the milk mixture thoroughly to distribute evenly.
Allow the mixture to heat through for another minute, making sure it's hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Pour the Keto Chai Spiced Almond Milk Latte into a pre-warmed mug.
Optional: Froth additional almond milk or heavy cream and gently spoon on top for a barista-style finish.
Notes
For a frothy latte, use a milk frother on the almond milk mixture before adding the spices.Adjust the sweetness to taste; some may prefer a less sweet latte, while others may want additional sweetness.If you prefer a caffeine-free version, use a decaffeinated chai tea bag.To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or additional almond milk.
