Rooibos Masala Chai

April 28, 2012 by Leanne Vogel August 21, 2017

Switch out the black tea with naturally caffiene-free rooibos tea so you can enjoy a masala chai at any time of the day. Not only is rooibos naturally caffeine-free, but it’s excellent for your digestion, and has a high amount of antioxidants.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1 rooibos tea bag
• 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
• 1 tablespoon demerara, coconut or date sugar
• 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon homemade chai spice + more for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Place the water and tea bag in a small saucepan, cover and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to simmer and leave for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add non-dairy milk, sugar and spices. Bring back to a simmer, just until it’s heated. This will ensure that you don’t get the milk film over top of your chai.
4. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes before removing the bag, pouring into a large mug and sprinkling with extra chai spice if desired.
