Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 sticks cinnamon sticks
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 4 pods cardamom pods
- 4 pieces black peppercorns
- 1 inch piece, thinly sliced fresh ginger
- 2 bags black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional, for garnish ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom pods, peppercorns, and fresh ginger.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Add the black tea bags to the saucepan and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the tea bags steep for 2 more minutes.
Remove the tea bags and strain the spiced tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jug to remove the whole spices.
Rinse the saucepan, then return the strained tea to it. Add honey or maple syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until heated through and well mixed, about 2-3 minutes.
Divide the chai latte between two mugs, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired, and enjoy hot.
