Ingredients Needed To Make Masala Chai Tea
This low-carb recipe is made with ingredients that fit your keto lifestyle while still maintaining the delicious flavors of chai tea.
Masala Spice Mix
The spice blend gives the tea that traditional spiced flavor that most everyone loves. It contains ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and more and is available in my store here.
Coconut Or Almond Milk
Use your favorite milk alternative to add to the recipe. I suggest either coconut or almond milk as they result in the rich creaminess you’d expect with a chai tea drink.
Sweetener
The sugar substitute helps make this keto chai tea taste like the real thing without being too heavy in carbs.
My favorite to use is monk fruit sweetener as it tastes the closest to traditional sugar in my opinion.
Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.
Quick Tips:
- For a very flavorful masala chai tea, try adding in additional spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- If you want a stronger tea, you can brew it for a few minutes longer to extract even more flavor.
- You can froth your milk with an immersion blender or a normal blender for a fancy keto masala chai. You could also whisk it by hand to froth it up.
- If you want to have this delicious chai tea on hand, you can always make it ahead of time. It will last in the fridge for up to two days.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Chai Masala Tea
Here are some of the most popular questions we get about this tea.
Is chai tea keto?
Chai tea can certainly be keto-friendly if it is made with a few adjustments. To make it low-carb, you will need to replace cow’s milk with another milk option. You’ll also need to find a replacement for sugar to reduce carbs.
What’s the difference between chai tea vs masala tea vs chai latte?
Masala means spice, and chai means tea. All of these drinks by either name are very similar.
By definition, chai tea is simply black tea and milk. Masala tea, however, contains those same ingredients but has spices added as well.
What is referred to as a chai latte is very similar to a masala tea, only it is much sweeter and usually made with syrup.
Can I make this keto chai tea iced?
You can certainly adapt this keto chai tea to make it iced instead of hot. Chai tea makes a delicious cold tea as well as hot, depending on your personal preference.
All you will need to do is let the tea become chilled after brewing and straining, then add in some ice.
This low-carb chai tea recipe is perfect for anyone following a low-carb or keto diet. It is just like a traditional cup of rich chai without all of the unnecessary carbs.
You can easily whip up this keto chai masala tea any time of the day for a fancy Starbucks drink made in your own home – for half the price!
