Chocolate Chai With Whipped Cream

Mmmmm! Chocolate chai is SUPER easy to make, it's G-Free, and it's SUPER yummy! When you're making it, it looks a lot like hot chocolate, but it definitely smells like chai. It's a fun drink for cold winter days, or summer mornings when you feel like having something a little more interesting then coffee. ;)

Ingredients:

2 black tea bags (I used PG Tips)
1 3-inch stick of cinnamon
4 cups of milk
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/4  tsp ground cardamom
1 cup water
4 tbs sugar
2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder

Method:

Pour 1 cup of water into a medium sauce pan. Add the tea bags and cinnamon stick. Let the water boil and then remove it from from the heat and let it sit for about 5 min with the lid on.

If you decide to add whipped cream, be sure to note that it makes your drink high in calories!

While you're waiting, put some whipping cream, 2 tbs sugar, and a tsp vanilla into a Kitchen Aid (or any other mixer) and mix on medium high speed for the whole time you're making the chai. It's hands free, and by the time your chai is ready, your whipped cream will be as well!

Once the 5 min are up, remove the lid and discard the tea bags and cinnamon. Add the milk, vanilla, ginger, cardamom, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir over medium heat just until it's hot. DO NOT BOIL. Serve it up with some whipped cream on top and enjoy!

Even my younger brother enjoyed this delicious drink!

Nully's Tips:
Cardamom is VERY expensive, so use it wisely. Just a pinch of it will go a long way, so don't over do it.
