1
Prepare the Spice Mix
In a mortar and pestle, combine the cinnamon, cardamom pods, cloves, ginger, and black peppercorns. Grind until you have a fine powder. Set aside.

2
Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of milk. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer but not boil.
3
Add the Spice Mix
Once the milk is simmering, add the prepared chai spice mix into the milk. Stir gently and let it steep for about 5 minutes.
4
Melt the Chocolate
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and combined with the spiced milk.
5
Sweeten the Mixture
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
6
Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the hot chai chocolate into mugs and optionally top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired.
