Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups hot water
  • 2 teaspoons chai tea, loose leaf (or 2 tea bags) (I use chai made from black tea)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa or cacao powder, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon honey, or more to taste (Or substitute sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk substitute

Instruction

  • Bring water to a boil.  Pour into a teapot, or divide into 2 large mugs.
  • Add tea and cocoa powder, and allow to steep for 5-7 minutes.  Sweeten to taste with honey.
  • While tea steeps, heat and froth milk.Frothing Tips: Use a milk frothing attachment on an espresso maker, an electric milk frother, or heat milk and use a handheld frother.  Alternatively, skip frothing and simply warm the milk.
  • If using a teapot, pour tea into mugs or teacups.  If steeping tea in mugs, remove the tea ball or bag from the mugs.
  • Top the tea with the frothed milk. Dust with a little cocoa powder. Serve immediately.
