Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add tea bag, cover, and remove from heat. Steep for 3-5 minutes to allow the tea to fully infuse its flavor. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Remove tea bag, gently squeezing out any excess liquid. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder until well combined, creating a luscious, chocolatey base. (1 minute)

04

Step

Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Incorporate milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg, stirring gently until everything is well combined and the spices are evenly distributed. (1 minute)

06

Step

Heat through until warmed but do not boil, ensuring a smooth, velvety texture. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Pour into mugs, generously top with sweetened whipped cream, and delicately garnish with cinnamon sticks for an elegant finishing touch. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a flavored black tea, such as Earl Grey or vanilla black tea.
Adjust the amount of sugar and spices to suit your personal taste preferences.
If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with your favorite plant-based alternative, such as almond milk or oat milk.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.
A pinch of ground cloves or cardamom can add a unique warmth to the chai.
