1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add Tea and Spices
Once boiling, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1 teaspoon of ground cloves. Stir well.
3
Steep the Tea
Cover the saucepan and let the mixture steep for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
4
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve into a separate pot or pitcher to remove the tea leaves and spices.
5
Add Milk and Sugar
Return the strained chai to the saucepan, add 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

6
Prepare Marshmallows
While the chai is warming, preheat your oven's broiler. Place 1 cup of marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Toast Marshmallows
Broil the marshmallows for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning. Rotate the baking sheet if necessary to ensure even toasting.
8
Remove and Cool
Once the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before using.

9
Combine and Serve
Pour the warm chai into mugs and top each serving with a generous amount of toasted marshmallows. Enjoy your toasted marshmallow chai!
