How to Make Vanilla Matcha Chai Latte Dairy Free

  1. Blend 1 cup of water with 1 cup raw almonds until completely smooth.
  2. Strain the almond mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much milk as possible.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the homemade almond milk with 1 cup water, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, 4 cardamom pods, 1 inch piece of ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), and 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, remove the lid, and boil for 5 minutes. Then, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully strain the chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a blender, discarding the solids.
  6. Let the strained chai cool slightly. Add 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender. Blend until smooth and frothy.
  7. Add raw honey to taste (start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to your preference).
  8. Enjoy your Vanilla Matcha Chai Latte hot or cold!
