Dairy-Free Chai Tea

January 10, 2019

Chai tea has always been one of my favorite warm beverages, but all that dairy can make me feel heavy and bloated. [caption id="attachment_662" align="alignleft" width="134"] Shelley Butler Integrative Nutrition Health Coach[/caption] I've been trying for a while to create a dairy-free version, and I think I finally perfected it.

These warming spices can help promote heart health, reduce blood sugar levels, aid digestion, and promote weight loss! Dairy-Free Chai Tea Yield: 12-15 cups Ingredients 8 chai tea bags (I used Twinings decaf chai) 4 cups boiling water 4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1 can full-fat coconut...
