Tips

To add a touch of creaminess to your chai latte, consider frothing the lactose-free milk. There are various methods to achieve this luxurious texture.

Questions about lactose-free chai latte

In the mood for a cosy and comforting drink? Look no further. Keep reading to get all the details about this wonderfully soothing and comforting lactose-free chai latte.

What tea to use for chai latte?
The traditional and common choices for chat latte are Assam or Darjeeling. They have a robust flavour that complements the spices and lactose-free milk beautifully. However, you can use whatever suits your preferences. Some might use milder black tea or even green tea for a lighter flavour. For a caffeine-free alternative, you can use rooibos. Experiment a bit and try out different tea types!
What is in a lactose-free chai latte?
Chai latte is all about the amazing flavours of chai tea. It is infused with a distinct taste of black tea leaves and aromatic spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. To make it smooth and creamy, lactose-free semi-skimmed milk is added, which helps to tone down the spices and allows the tea's fragrance to shine through. A touch of maple syrup is incorporated to add sweetness and enhance the spice blend. And for an extra kick of flavour, adding a splash of vanilla extract does the trick.
Does lactose-free chai latte have caffeine?
A lactose-free chai latte may contain caffeine, depending on the type of tea used to make the chai blend. Typically, black tea which naturally contains caffeine, is used as the base for chai tea. The exact caffeine content can vary depending on brewing time, the specific blend of tea used, and the strength of the tea infusion.

Cinnamon adds a hint of sweetness and a cosy feeling with its woody notes, while cloves, with their earthy and slightly spicy taste, give the drink a rich depth. Nutmeg adds warmth and sophistication to the mix with its subtle and nutty flavour, and, as the cherry on top, a little touch of vanilla extract adds a mild sweetness.
