A Whole30 chai latte is a comfort song to those running a Whole30 round. The earthiness of chai with the sweetness of coconut milk is so delicious and naturally sweet that you feel in that moment that you need nothing else.
Mmmmm winter is finally coming, and with it must be a drink worthy of a night spent with Margaery.
Whole30 Chai Latte Flavor
The earthy spices are finally in the minds of everyone and spreading like cinnamon icing across our foods and dripping into our drinks with cinnamon-laced in ginger, fennel, cloves, and even anise.
My humble human mouth is not yet a fan of anise, it tastes like licorice was steeped for twenty hours and then someone tried to turn it to wine.
It just tastes wrong and should not exist. –
In my little version of reality, this will not be true for long. Taste has to do with your body accepting foods as energy sources, and it simply feared anise because it was new. That was a year ago so right now it may even taste of licorice dripping out of a gorgeous chocolate hinted Merlot.
Cinnamon sweetly touching ginger and fondling cardamon, black pepper, and cloves should happen every day. Coconut milk has this mouth dripping quality of not overpowering flavors while maintaining that creamy feeling you want from a latte.
Coconut in itself lends a new flavor for lattes that compliments and strengthens the spicy nature of Chai tea. You can use any dairy-free milk that you personally enjoy as well. Macadamia milk has a delicious creaminess to it that I have fallen madly in mouth love with. You could also use almond, cashew, hazelnut or walnut milk.
Coconut and nut milk have their own sweetness despite being sugar-free and allow for very little need when it comes to extra sweetening. Try minimal sweetener and then increase if you feel you must, but the less sweetener the more you can taste the chai 😉
Whole30 Chai Latte Recipe
Ingredients
4 Oz of Fresh Water (filtered prefer for taste)
4 Oz Dairy Free Milk -See Notes
1/4 Teaspoon Blue Lotus Masala Chai -or Make Your Own Chai like a beast human (You'll surpass my beastliness since I just used the powder)
1/8 Tsp Coconut Sugar (optional - eliminate on Whole30)
(Use Erythitrol for a low carb / keto version, coconut will lend a more earthy note though that harmonizes with chai)
Instructions
1. Boil the dairy-free milk and water together. If you made your own cocomilk and stored it in the fridge then be sure to add chunks of the cream layer that forms for maximal creaminess
2. Right when the milk and water reach boiling stir in the Masla Chai or steep your own DIY chai.
3. Sweeten and let cool before consuming. My hurt tongue serves as a reminder that patience is key.
Notes
Dairy-Free Milk Options
- Thai Kitchen Full Fat Coconut Milk (Or make your own)
- Macadamia Milk -My new favorite mouth love that's super creamy and rich with minimal nutty flavor
- Almond Milk
- Cashew Milk
Making your own coconut milk can definitely be cheaper over time and is so simple that I do it about once a week.
Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk otherwise it will taste thin.
P.S. You’re beautiful <(^_^)>
Enjoy this paleo chai latte/whole30 chai latte anytime and wherever you are in your journey.
