Cosy-As-Anything Spiced Chai
Julia Canella | Recipes | 15 April 2024
There's no better way to start hibernation season than with a steaming hot cup of tea. But, what's even better than this?
The homemade spiced chai sort of course, with a scent to give you all those feel-good, cosy vibes.
Spiced Chai | Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 star anise pod, whole
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 clove, whole
- 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
- 1/4 nutmeg, ground
- 2 Darjeeling black tea bags
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon honey, more if you like it sweeter
In a small or medium saucepan, bring cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, clove, peppercorn, ginger and nutmeg to a boil.
Add the tea bags, steep for 5 minutes.
Remove tea bags, rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat milk and honey in a smaller saucepan over medium heat, taking care not to bring it to a boil. Depending on what tools you have, here you can froth your milk.
While the milk cools for a minute, strain the tea into your favourite mug or cup.
Add slightly cooled milk.
Enjoy warm.
