Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Whole milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 serving Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Stir in the milk and allow the mixture to heat through, but do not let it boil. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract and honey (or maple syrup). Stir well.
Strain the chai latte mixture into two mugs to remove the tea bags, cinnamon stick, and any spice residue.
Top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy!
