How to Make Chocolate Chai Tea

  1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and add 2 chai tea bags.
  3. Cover and steep for 5 minutes to allow the tea to infuse fully.
  4. Remove the tea bags and stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder until dissolved.
  5. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low, then add 1 cup of milk (alwalde's suggestion: less milk for a stronger flavor!), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, a pinch of ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Cook and stir gently for 5 minutes, ensuring the mixture is heated through but not boiling.
  8. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any spice particles.
  9. Pour into warm mugs and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional).
