Superfood Coconut Chai Latte
Superfood Coconut Chai Latte
1 chai tea bag, or 1 teaspoon loose chai tea
1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or raw honey, or more to taste
1 tablespoon grass-fed collagen peptides
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Boil 3/4 cup water in a teapot. Place the tea bag in a mug (or place loose tea in a tea ball or strainer) and pour the water over the tea. Steep for 4 to 6 minutes. While the tea is steeping, heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan until just warm. Do not let the coconut milk boil. Pour the coconut milk into a glass measuring cup or tall glass and froth it with a frothing wand. You can also froth the milk in a bowl with a handheld mixer or in a blender. Set the milk aside. Remove the tea bag or loose tea from the mug and stir in the maple syrup and collagen peptides. Slowly pour the frothed milk into the mug. Top with the cinnamon and enjoy. Special equipment: Frothing wand (optional)Â Change it up: Give the latte a stronger chai flavor by using 2 chai tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose chai tea and the same amount of water.
