We're coming into cold and gray times in the noth so to keep yourself energized and healthy I've been playing in the kitchen with all kinds of recipes.
Lately I've been longing for that popular vegan chai tea that it the No #1 thing people drink during winter in Melbourne.
"One soy chai tea / latte, please."
Yepp, you'll hear that sentence everywhere all the time. Especially if you work in a café!I got pretty tired of that after a while when people always ordered it while I was working. But did I get tired of that amazing smell and taste? NEVER!
Here's how I did it at home a while ago..
And each of these spices is packed full of nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties, so you can drink up guilt-free. Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Ingredients:
24 ounces unsweetened almond or soy milk
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 small pinch coarse ground black pepper
Optional sweeteners:
1 tablespoon raw honey
Recipe: Combine all of the ingredients (except sweeteners) in a small pot over medium heat and whisk to combine. Heat over medium-low heat 5-7 minutes until the flavors have come together; serve immediately. Sweeten to taste.
Chai Tea Variation: Add 1 organic unflavored black or green teabag to each hot serving. Steep for 5 minutes; discard teabag before serving.
Chai Latte Variation: Add 1-2 shots of organic espresso or strong organic coffee to each serving.

Method:
Smash the avocado in a small bowl then gently mix through the feta and mint. Don’t mix too much or you won’t have any larger chunks of feta left.
Toast the bread.
Cover the toast in the avocado + feta mix and then add a squeeze of fresh lemon.
I added some black pepper too.

and latte recipes. It’s also great on its own without the tea or coffee.
