Chai-Infused Hot Chocolate Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chai

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Add the chai tea bags and let steep for about 5 minutes to infuse the milk with chai flavors. Remove the tea bags afterward.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the chai is ready, add the chopped dark chocolate to the warm milk, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and combined.

  3. 3

    Sweeten and Spice

    Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Pour the chai-infused hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder if desired.
