Ditch the expensive, store-bought coffee shop chai lattes for this authentic, homemade version that is dairy-free and naturally sweetened with a touch of maple syrup.  It is simple to make and so much better than those sneaky chai tea powder mixes with mystery ingredients and additives.  Using freshly brewed black tea and real spices boosts the flavor of this drink and makes it totally addictive.  It is not watered down at all and has a luscious plant-based milk base.

Blending the ingredients on low speed makes it extra creamy, frothy and foamy.  I recommend enjoying this energizing latte piping hot and pairing with a healthy cookie or muffin. Cheers!
