Method

Tea Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, black peppercorns, and sliced ginger to the saucepan.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Reduce heat to low and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes. Afterward, add the chai tea bags and let steep for another 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Tea

    Remove the tea bags and strain the mixture into a bowl or pitcher to remove the spices. Add sugar or sweetener to taste.

Milk Frothing

  1. 5

    Heat the Milk

    In a separate saucepan, heat your choice of milk (whole, almond, oat, or soy) over medium heat until hot but not boiling.

  2. 6

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and airy. If using a blender, blend for a few seconds until frothy.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the spiced chai tea into a cup, then gently spoon or pour the frothed milk over the top. Optionally, sprinkle with extra cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.
