For a richer, more complex flavor, toast the whole spices (cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and peppercorns) in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. This will release their essential oils and enhance their aroma. Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more to achieve your desired level of sweetness. Experiment with different types of black tea to customize the flavor profile. Assam or Ceylon tea varieties work particularly well. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1-2 teaspoons of ground ginger. However, fresh ginger will provide a brighter, more vibrant flavor. For a non-dairy option, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or another plant-based sweetener and creamer.

May 3, 2025I found the chai to be a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sweetened condensed milk by a few ounces. It was perfect after that!
