Dairy and Lactose Free Winter Warmers Soy Milk Quick and Easy Drinks So Good Almond and Coconut Milks Gluten Free

This warming spiced beverage is perfect for a cold winter’s night. Unlike most chai lattes, it is caffeine-free so you can consume it with the assurance of a good night’s sleep. Spices are medicines you can pull from your kitchen cupboard as they provide strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. The drink is also lactose-free and gluten-free.

Method

Place 1¼ cups of water into a small saucepan with the tea bag and spices, cover and bring to boil. Turn down heat slightly and boil for 3 minutes.
Mix in soy milk and honey, and bring to boil again, uncovered, being careful that it doesn’t burn or boil over. Remove from heat just as it starts to foam and rise.
Pour into 2 tall mugs through a small strainer. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.
