Method

Prepare the Chai Mixture

  1. 1

    Boil the Milk

    In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Steep the Tea

    Once the milk is boiling, remove it from heat and add the two black tea bags. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    After steeping, remove the tea bags and whisk in cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Prepare the French Toast

  1. 4

    Soak the Bread

    In a shallow dish, pour the chai mixture over the thick slices of bread, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until well saturated.

  2. 5

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly but not browned.

  3. 6

    Cook the French Toast

    Carefully place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chai French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar as desired.
