DIY Recipe: Cannabis-Infused Chai Latte

When the weather gets chilly, it’s a good excuse to indulge in hearty meals and delicious, hot drinks. And chai tea is one of the very best. It’s a rich, fragrant tea blend that includes healthy spices:

  • Cinnamon, which can help lower blood sugar and has anti-inflammatory properties
  • Cardamom, used for centuries to help treat depression and digestive issues
  • Ginger, the spice that helps alleviate nausea and fights fungal infections

Chai lattes are regular staples on coffeehouse menus, but they can easily be made at home at a fraction of the cost. Plus, making it at home means you can add the perfect dose of cannabis oil to pack in even more health benefits.

Ingredients for Cannabis-Infused Chai Latte

  • 8 oz water
  • 4 oz milk of your choice (dairy or any kind of nut milk will work fine)
  • 2 tsp of coconut sugar
  • 1 heaping tbsp of loose-leaf black tea
  • 4 cardamom pods, smashed
  • 1/4 inch slice of fresh ginger
  • 5 mL cannabis oil of your choice (you can adjust the amount according to your tolerance and preference)
