This is how I make chai when I need something warm that makes me feel enveloped in comfort without the added calories of my former addiction: hot chocolate. It's spicier (in a warming way that is very soothing) and lighter in taste than any chai from a coffee shop. The method is also quite authentic. If you can, make sure to use fresh, whole cardamom pods, whole cloves, and freshly ground black pepper. You can also add a couple of drops of vanilla extract or use a very small amount of fresh ginger. The recipe is calculated with four teaspoons of sugar, but it is completely up to you.

How Do I Make Simple Spiced Chai?

Here is how you make Simple Spiced Chai:

In a medium saucepan or pot, combine the milk and water. Bring to a gentle boil at medium-high heat. The milk and water is very prone to bubbling over, so it must be watched, but need not be stirred. Once the mixture is boiling, turn off the heat and add the tea and spices, whisking or stirring the entire time. If the chai shows any signs of boiling over, remove it from the heat until it has calmed down, then return it to the warm burner. Let the tea and spices steep for at least five minutes, until the chai turns a caramelly color, then ladle out individual servings. Add sugar to taste and enjoy.
