Spiced soy milk chai or masala chai
Hailing from an Indian household, making chai has never seemed like a chore to me. Ever since I sipped it for the first time till this day, Chai has been my favorite beverage. Off late, I have been posting vegan recipes and my friends have often asked me if I have a recipe for a vegan chai. Well, the answer is a resounding “Yes”!
There are several alternatives for milk, but getting the right one that hits the right note can be a challenge. If that sound like a problem you have experienced, you will be excited about this recipe today.
Soy milk with a mild hint of spices I have listed below gives a energy boost with no compromise in taste. I try my chai without sugar, but you could adjust the sweetness with a little cane sugar. So, here’s the recipe for Spiced Soy Milk Chai.
As always, let me know how you like it and if you have any questions. Thanks!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup soy milk( vanilla flavored) or any choice of dairy free milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp tea powder ( red label brand)
- 1 pods of cardamom
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 cloves
- 1/4 tsp dry ginger powder
- 1 tsp Sugar (optional)
Directions:
Place a vessel with 1 cup water over medium heat and add 2 tsp of tea powder. Crush all the spices and add them to the boiling water. Meanwhile, warm the soy milk in microwave or stove top. Do not boil the soy milk because it tends to curd. After about 2-3 minutes, sieve the tea powder and mix with soy milk. If you prefer sugar on it add sugar. Now Spiced Soy milk Chai is ready.
Spiced Soy Milk Chai goes very well with a toast or  cookies.
