Ever made something so good you want to tell everyone about it? I literally just had that moment. Oh, my word! This Vegan Cashew Lavender Chai Tea Latte is the ultimate creamiest and nutritious latte you’ll ever have. I know that’s saying a lot because there are so many versions of a chai tea latte however, I am confident that you’ll be making this day after day. You got that slight hint of lavender that really ties in all the flavors nicely along with the creaminess that comes from the cashews.
Chai tea lattes are a huge hit in the fall and winter time and for good reason. The aromatic spices from the ginger, clove, and cinnamon, give people all the warm and cozy feels of the holidays slowly approaching. You got the weather finally cooling down, the fireplace going, so you can cozy next to it and watch your favorite hallmark movie. Well, maybe just me on the Hallmark movies LOL.
But with this Vegan Cashew Lavender Chai Tea Latte recipe, I wanted to do something different. If you have been following for a while, you know I am a HUGE sucker for adding herbs and floral aromas to my food and beverages. Well, in true PTB form, I had to add some dried lavender to this latte. Such a great flavor that will leave you wondering why it doesn’t always have lavender.
Alteration: Not a fan of cashews, use any milk you’d like, but I find cashews give it the creaminess you see here.
For an Iced Vegan Cashew Lavender Chai Tea Latte Version: Simply pour over ice and enjoy.
Give this a try and as always, be sure to tag me in your stories so I can see your amazing creations.
