Notes
Feel free to make adjustments to suit your preferences. You can use any type of milk instead of almond milk. If you like it extra sweet, add a bit more honey or your preferred sweetener.
For a caffeine-free version, you might use rooibos chai tea bags. This recipe is versatile and can adapt to your tastes. Share your own variations in the comments! 😊
