Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces Cardamom pods (crushed)
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, cloves, and sliced ginger into the saucepan.
Bring the mixture just to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it steep for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove the spices and tea solids.
Stir in the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg. Let the chai mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the Chai Pops are fully set.
To remove the popsicles easily, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds before pulling them out. Serve and enjoy!
