We don’t know whether it is the romantic monsoon weather outside but tea is to the body what music is to the soul and since we are always easily distracted with creative tea recipes, we decided to whip up some non-dairy iced dirty chai this evening. Call us ‘chai’vinists but we strongly feel that where there is tea, there is hope!
If you too feel that a cup of tea is a cup of peace, check out the tea-rrific recipe below and try your hands on non-dairy iced dirty chai which is made from oatmilk and is not just healthy but also extra creamy, nutritious and delicious. It can be made in a jiffy and serves two.
Ingredients:
1 double shot of espresso
2 chai tea bags
1/3 cup boiling water
1 tsp brown sugar or sweetener of choice
Dash of cinnamon
Original oatmilk
Ice
Star anise and cinnamon sticks to garnish (optional)
Method:
Steep your chai tea in the boiling water for about 5 minutes. Brew your espresso and stir in sweetner and cinnamon.
Pour espresso and chai mixture over ice and top with original oatmilk. Garnish and serve!
Benefits:
Vegan as well as lactose, oatmilk is a great option for those with dietary restrictions as it is not only good for bones but also helps to lower blood cholesterol since it is packed with B Vitamins such as riboflavin (B2) and vitamin B12. It is very high in carbohydrates and provides more riboflavin or vitamin B-2 than cow's milk.
Oatmilk is a great antioxidant that keeps the skin glowing by reducing pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. Its consumption helps repair the skin from daily wear and tear, UV radiation, pollution and other adverse effects.
