For the chai mix (makes 2 tbsp so you will have leftovers):
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- Just under ¼ tsp ground cloves
- Just under ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
For the latte:
- 4 tbsp Rasa Dirty Blend
- 16 oz boiling water
- 4 ounces non-dairy milk such as coconut milk (4 ounces=¼ cup)
- 1 tsp chai mix
- ½-1 tsp honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Place the 4 tablespoons of Rasa Dirty blend into a French press or a reusable tea ball and pour the boiling water over top. Allow to steep for 15-20 minutes
While the Rasa Dirty blend is steeping, combine all the ingredients for the chai mix into a glass jar or bowl and mix well. This recipe makes about 2 tablespoons of mix or a total of 6 servings. I like to label my glass jar and place in my spice jar for another day. Scoop 1 teaspoon of the chai mix and place into a blender
In a small sauce pot, add the coconut milk (or other nondairy milk), honey and the vanilla extract and heat until the milk almost reaches a boil. Pour into the blender
Once the Rasa Dirty blend is done brewing, measure 8 ounces (1 cup) and pour into the blender. Turn the blender on low and slowly work up to a medium-high speed. Allow to blend for 30 seconds or so. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
