Lately I’ve been toying around with making Keto Chai Latte. I have a true love for coffee.. but I can only have so much in a day before I get the jitters.\u00a0 It’s one of the drawbacks of getting older I think.\u00a0 Regardless occasionally, especially when it’s cold out, I want to drink something hot.\u00a0 Sometimes an\u00a0(almost) Keto Hot Buttered Rum<\/a>\u00a0will hit the spot.. but sometimes I just want something different (and less alcoholic).\u00a0 Enter the Keto Chai Latte.<\/p>\n

Experimentation<\/h2>\n

Initially I tried this with 100% heavy cream.\u00a0 It was super tasty but also super high in calories.\u00a0 I tried making it from 100% almond milk and found that it was kind of thin (and honestly kind of had a gritty quality).\u00a0 Finally I settled on a mix of almond milk with just enough heavy cream to give it a lovely mouth feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"When I first started making this I’d heat the milk mixture in a sauce pan with loose leaf 500 mile chai<\/a>, strain it and then transfer it to my mug.\u00a0 After doing this a few times I ran out of the loose leaf tea mixture and noticed that my microwave has a “Reheat Tea” setting on it (which would just scandalize any proper tea drinker).\u00a0 I tried the recipe using that to heat the milk and a Twinings Chia tea bags to fill the place of the loose leaf 500 mile chai and I’m sold.\u00a0 It’s simpler… it’s slightly less good (I mean come on, the 500 mile chai mix is fabulous) but it’s also one less dish to wash and a lot less fuss. Sadly a whole herd of tea aficionados just sniffed at me. Whatever.<\/p>\n

Lastly, when I first made this I used 1 tablespoon of granulated Swerve<\/a> as the sweetener.\u00a0 It worked very well but has the weird Swerve side effect of making everything taste sweet for about 20 minutes after you drink it.\u00a0 Not bad.. but disconcerting. Recently I’ve changed over to using Sweet-N-Low packets which are my preferred coffee sweetener.<\/p>\n

Pedantry<\/h2>\n

Finally, although technically I think this might more correctly be called a “Low Carb Almond Chai Creama” (since it’s made with almond milk and heavy cream rather than milk) ..\u00a0 I plan to continue to refer to this as my Chai Latte.<\/p>\n
