How to Make Peppermint Chai Tea

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 inch piece of ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), 4 whole cloves, 2 cardamom pods (lightly crushed), and 1 star anise.
  2. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Immediately reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and add 4 peppermint tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf peppermint).
  5. Cover the pan and let steep for 3-5 minutes (longer steeping time results in a stronger tea).
  6. Remove tea bags/strain out spices using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
  7. Serve immediately in mugs.
  8. Allow each person to add their preferred amount of sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar) and soy milk or dairy milk to taste.
