Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or tea bags)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 4 pods Cardamom pods
- 3 whole Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 whole Black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (gently crushed), cloves, ginger, and black peppercorns. Let the spices simmer for 2-3 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) and let steep for 2 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse with the spiced water.
Pour in 1 cup of whole milk and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture gently simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into two mugs using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey into each mug, or adjust to taste based on your sweetness preference.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your warm, soothing Chai Honey Tea.
