How to Make Quick Chocolate Chai

Heat 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat until boiling, or microwave 1 cup of water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix (or 2 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped). Stir until completely dissolved.
Add 1 black tea bag (or 1 teaspoon loose leaf black tea) and 1/2 teaspoon of chai spice blend (or a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger).
Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred spice intensity.
Remove the tea bag (or strain loose leaf tea). Gently squeeze the tea bag to extract maximum flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and quick chocolate chai! Optional: Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra indulgence.
