A festive and aromatic Christmas Chai Latte made with a blend of spices and topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk (or a plant-based alternative)
  • 1 black tea bag or 1 tsp black tea leaves
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • a pinch of ground black pepper
  • For the Whipped Cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp of the spice mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper. Set aside 1/4 teaspoon of this mix for the whipped cream.
  2. Heat Water and Add Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the water, black tea leaves, brown sugar, and the remaining spice mix. Heat gently over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Brew the Chai Base: Reduce the heat to low, stir in the milk, and let it steep for 5 minutes.
  4. Strain and Serve: Strain the chai into a mug to remove the tea leaves (or tea bags) and any spice sediments. Set aside while you prepare the whipped cream.
  5. Make the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, reserved spice mix until soft peaks form. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for quicker results.
  6. Top and Garnish: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the chai latte. For extra festive flair, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness of the chai latte by adding more or less brown sugar.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based milk and sweetener for the whipped cream.
