Turmeric and ginger are known to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and this is possibly one of the most delicious recipes to make use of their medicinal magic. Subtly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, I've also included coconut sugar and a dash of pure vanilla bean powder in the mix for a touch of sweetness.

1. Mix all chai spice ingredients together and pour into a jar.

2. To prepare, gently heat nut milk until steaming, and then pour into a blender, along with 2 tsp of the chai mix, and 1 tbsp coconut oil.
