Green Tea Chai Latte

This can't truly be called a latte since I usually make it with nondairy milk but it is extremely tasty, with just the right amount of spice. I prefer this with nondairy milk but not soy, which curdles easily. You can refrigerate any that’s leftover and reheat later in the day or the next day.

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with the ginger slices, cardamom pods and cinnamon. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Turn off heat, stir green tea leaves into water, and let steep for 2 minutes. Add agave syrup, milk and salt, and heat until hot but not boiling over medium heat.
  3. To serve, strain into cups. Add more agave syrup if desired, to taste.
