A wonderfully sweet chocolate chai. Makes your tea a little more exciting. Note: I especially like alwalde's suggestion to cut back on the milk. Please take that change into consideration when preparing. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
2 tea bags, black |
1/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons (6 tablespoons total) |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
4 cups milk |
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
couple grains salt |
whipped cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat; add tea bags. Cover and steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bags.
2. Stir in sugar and cocoa. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Add milk, vanilla, spices and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. Strain, if desired. Pour into warm mugs. Garnish each with whipping cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
