Dairy-Free Chai Tea Lattes

Dairy-Free Chai Tea Lattes. Refined sugar free, vegan, and ready in under 15 minutes! These tasty drinks are perfect for a crisp fall evening (or morning!)

Fall has literally hit us like a ton of bricks this year. I was ready for the end of summer (reluctantly) but this was literally like going to bed one summer night and waking up to fall. The air has really changed and got that cool crispness to it now.

I’m so glad I actually FEEL like drinking hot drinks now, and it gave me an excuse to FINALLY make these vegan chai tea lattes. Call it cliché, I don’t really care haha! This is my second year blogging, and last year I didn’t really do anything fall/Christmas themed, and this year I’m totally ready for ALL those things. So be prepared for a few more pumpkin recipes – I promise they will be good ones!

Masala Chai (literally meaning chai tea) is a traditional and popular blend of warm spices, mixed with milky tea. It’s easily made vegan by simply replacing regular dairy milk with your favorite plant milk. Or if you don’t mind some dairy, here’s one of the best chai tea recipes I’ve found.

My favorite plant milk is oat milk. It’s arguably the healthiest and the most sustainable of all the plant milks, and I find it doesn’t curdle in hot drinks, making it perfect for this recipe! Of course you can use any kind you like, oat milk is just my choice.
