What I love about this drink is the way the Caro adds depth and richness to the spicy chai flavours. Our favourite chai-style tea is called "Bengal Spice", by Celestial Seasonings. The other tip to make this drink your own is to try a mix of different nut milks — soy milk tends to be rich, almond is lighter and usually sweeter, oat milk is very light. Ani likes to combine them to suit her taste.

Ingredients

1 Tea bag, use spicy chai-style herb tea
¾ cup Water, boiling
3 tsp Cereal beverage, I use Caro's, or alternatives such as Ecco or Inka
1 tsp Sweetener, stevia-based
1½ cups Soy milk, or milk of choice
1 tsp Vanilla essence
1 sprinkle Nutmeg

Directions

  1. Place tea bag and boiling water into a small saucepan. Allow to steep for at least 3 minutes to get the flavour out.
  2. Add Caro and stevia and stir to dissolve.
  3. Add soy milk and vanilla essence then heat (hot but not scalding).
  4. Pour into cups and sprinkle with nutmeg to serve.
