Chai Hot Chocolate
This chai hot chocolate is a creamy indulgence made with semi-sweet chocolate and warm spices. To make it even more decadent, top it off with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk (Dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 teaspoon loose black tea see note
- 3 to 4 crushed cardamom pods
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chopped milk chocolate
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium pot combine milk, tea leaves, cardamom, and cinnamon and then whisk together. Heat the milk mixture until it comes to a slight simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add in cocoa powder and the chocolate, and stir frequently until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture thickens up. Strain the hot chocolate into your cups, top with fresh whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
Notes
- If you don't have loose black tea, simply cut 4 regular tea bags and measure out two teaspoons.
