Ingredients
Instructions
1. Simmer the spices
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and ginger. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes. This allows the spices to fully infuse the water.
2. Brew the tea
Add the black tea bags to the saucepan and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep briefly for a bold flavor.
3. Add milk and sweetener
Pour in the milk and return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the honey or maple syrup and gently warm the mixture without boiling.
4. Strain and finish
Remove from heat and strain the chai into mugs. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
5. Serve warm
Enjoy as-is, or top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy finishing touch.
