Coffee infused with clove, cardamom, and peppercorn to make the best dirty chai latte recipe. Seriously, you can make this simple recipe at home and it’s better than Starbucks!

Last year I discovered Dirty Chai.  I  got a bit addicted to the wonderful melody of coffee, cloves and ginger topped with heavy whipping cream.  

However, most coffee shops or mixes have sugar it in.  This makes it tough for to me drink since I really do try to avoid sugar.  

One thing that I’ve noticed as I’m in my last week of the 21 Day Sugar Detox is that spices become so much more important in a recipe when you remove sugar.

99.9% of the time I don’t do any sugar in my coffee or beverages however I never had such a strong urge to add a tiny splash of honey as I did with this Dirty Chai recipe.  

I guess that’s better than Mr. Bejelly saying that adding rum to it would make it spectacular.  

So what exactly is Dirty Chai Latte?

Is coffee that has been infused with the spices commonly added to chai tea/
