Soothing Chai


gluten free chai tea

Today was the first day since June that I did not wear my flip flops. That means only one thing: the cold weather is here.

Although yesterday was warm and sunny, today we will dip down to a low of 35 degrees! For me, this chilly weather calls for one of my favorite beverages: homemade chai. With just a few basic ingredients, this recipe is easy, delicious and inexpensive.

Soothing Chaiprint friendly recipe
6 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
4 cloves
1 inch ginger, sliced
8 pods cardamom
6 black pepper corns
1 bag peppermint tea (or 1 tablespoon loose peppermint tea)

  1. Combine all ingredients in a pot and place on stove over medium heat
  2. Bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer for 15 minutes
  3. Strain into mugs
  4. Serve piping hot with agave and almond milk

Serves 4

This recipe for homemade chai is simple and, on a cloudy day, very satisfying! Another vegan, dairy-free, lactose-free, gluten-free beverage for a chilly day. Enjoy!

    I love that this is caffeine-free as well! I can't wait to try it out.

    i am not sure why you are using pepermint tea instead of black tea which is what is traditional with this combination of spices?

  3. I've just gotten myself into a chai kick lately and I'm excited that I saw this here. Other chais I've seen have nutmeg in them, so I'm adding that to the recipe. It smells amazing and I can't wait to try my own homemade chai.

    I love Chai lattes...do you know if this recipe will work replacing the water with milk or almond milk??

    Thanks
