Homemade Vanilla Chai Latte @LoveMySilk #plantprotein

Sometimes it’s the simplest of request that have me scratching my head in the kitchen and wondering what I’ve gotten myself into. The request from BigBear for a Chai Latte did just that. I worked for an afternoon, steeping tea, testing methods and taste testing almost a dozen cups of chai variations until I found the perfect Homemade Vanilla Chai Latte! After that, I was in heaven!

I felt like Goldilocks while I was in the kitchen!

“This one has no flavor” 

“This one is too cold”

“This one is …wait… what is that.. no… just no”

“Oh this one is pretty good”

“Oh this one is Perfect!!”

We’ve finally stumbled into Fall but I still think mother nature is trying to decide if she’s ready to give up Summer and embrace the cool, crisp Autumn weather.

Our weather is kind of skipping around between, hot, cold, rainy and humid. I’m just ready for sweater weather! I actually adored summer this year (which is rare for me) but I’m still ready for pumpkins, colored leaves and hoodies.

What else do I indulge in during these cooler months? Warm, frothy, whipped cream topped cups of coffee, hot coco and tea!

I’ve been hitting up the coffee shop since I was 16. When I was younger it was almost an addiction to the ice beverages there and the “trendiness” that pulled me in, then at one point I swapped spots and donned that green apron and crafted those tasty beverages myself! For a while when we lived at Camp Lejeune I woke up super early, worked super late, mixed more lattes than I can count and found a new love, Chai Lattes!

BigBear would come see me when I was working and he too caught the coffee shop bug. He loved his Chai Lattes as well; Chai Latte – no water -add whip was his drink of choice!  I’d bring two extra large ones home from me when I got off work everyday and he was in love!

But back then those lattes were free (or sometimes deeply discounted) so it wasn’t so bad on my wallet. Since I don’t happen to work at a coffee shop anymore those days of indulging in free lattes and iced mochas are a thing of the past.

Now, I’m not saying that I don’t buy a drink from a coffee shop occasionally but they are kind of pricey and well, if I can make a delicious coffee house style drink at home that’s fine with me!

    Great recipe. I just love the chocolate chai tea. Could I just substitute the chocolate silk to do this or do you have another recipe.

      Hey! I bet you could. I haven’t tried it like that but I don’t see why not. I haven’t tried chocolate and chai together though haha so I can’t promise that it will taste good haha. If you try it let me know 🙂

      Because this was a post that I wrote in collaboration with Silk for Silks’ Vanilla Almond Milk and because we like their Vanilla Almond milk. You can use regular milk if you don’t want to use almond milk.
