Instructions

In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, warm the coconut milk until hot (don’t boil though).
If using black tea: Place in the coconut milk while on the stove and steep for several minutes or longer, depending on how strong you want it. Remember do not let it boil, just keep it warm while it steeps.
Remove the tea bags, add the spices, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine or use a milk frother to mix until well combined and spices are fragrant. Cook for a few minutes longer, whisking again before removing from the heat.
If using espresso – pour the espresso into the mugs.
Pour the coconut chai mixture into the mugs. To reduce sediment, you can strain through a fine mesh sieve while pouring into the mugs.
For an iced latte: Let the latte cool 10 mins then pour into a large glass cup with ice.
