Directions

1

Prepare the Spice Infusion

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the black tea leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and ginger. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

2

Add Milk and Cocoa

After simmering, add the milk and cocoa powder to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil.

3

Sweeten and Flavor

Add sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

4

Strain and Serve

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the chocolate chai into cups. Top with whipped cream if desired.
