Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chai spice mix (typically a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the coconut milk and spices: In a small saucepan, pour 2 cups of coconut milk and add 1 tablespoon of chai spice mix. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until it is hot but not boiling, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Sweeten and flavor: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Strain and serve: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a teapot or directly into mugs to remove the spices. Serve the chai-spiced coconut milk warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture; light coconut milk can be used for fewer calories but less richness.
- The chai spice mix can be made from scratch or purchased pre-made for convenience.
- For an iced version, allow the mixture to cool and serve over ice.
