Chai Latte
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 3 bags black tea
- 2 tsp sugar or sweetner of choice
Spices & Seeds
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 4 pods green cardamom
- 4 whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 2 inches fresh ginger
Instructions
- Begin by heating a medium-sized saucepan over high heat. Combine water, a cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, and ginger in the saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil, then introduce the tea bags or leaves.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and let it gently simmer for 10 minutes. The color will deepen to a rich burgundy shade, and the volume will slightly reduce.
- Add milk and sugar, stirring well. Increase the heat to high. Then, reduce the heat to medium and continue simmering for about 5 minutes.
- Strain the chai into cups and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sweetener if desired.
