Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • a pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon black tea leaves (or 2 black tea bags)
  • 2 cup milk (or a plant-based milk alternative)
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon prepared spice mix

Instructions

1. Boil Spices & Tea: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground black pepper to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of black tea leaves (or 2 black tea bags) and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

2. Add Milk & Sweetener: Stir in 2 cup of milk (or a plant-based milk alternative) and 2 tablespoon of brown sugar. Heat the mixture until hot but not boiling.

3. Strain & Serve: Strain the aromatic chai into mugs, ensuring that any tea leaves or spices are removed.

4. Make Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of the prepared spice mix until soft peaks form.

5. Top & Enjoy: Spoon the whipped cream onto the surface of the Christmas Chai Latte and sprinkle a little extra spice mix on top, if desired.

Notes

Adjust Spice Levels: Tailor the spice blend to your personal taste preferences, adding more or less of each spice to achieve your desired flavor profile.

Experiment with Sweeteners: Try using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup, coconut sugar, or even a touch of vanilla extract to complement the warming spices.

Milk Matters: Opt for creamy, full-fat milk (dairy or plant-based) to achieve the perfect velvety texture in your latte.

Vegan-Friendly Variations: To make your Christmas Chai Latte dairy-free, simply use a plant-based milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
