Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups water
- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
- ¼ tsp whole cardamom pods or cardamom seeds
- ¼ tsp whole cloves
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (use a rolling pin to crack a whole nutmeg into chunks, then just use a small piece)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I use Trader Joe's Reduced Fat canned coconut milk)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- sweetener, optional
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the water, tea bags and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm up the coconut milk and vanilla until hot. If you have a frother (or even an immersion blender), use it to froth the hot coconut milk.
- Strain the tea to remove the tea bags and spices.
- Divide the tea between 2 large mugs or 4 small coffee cups, then top with the frothed coconut milk. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, star anise and a sprinkling of ground vanilla bean powder.
- Sweeten as desired with honey, maple syrup, sugar, or another sweetener of your choice.
