Easy Tea-less Chai

Description

This is an easy home alternative for coffee-shop chai tea lattes. I leave out the tea because most of the flavor comes from the spices and not having to brew the tea makes it much, much simpler. If you're looking for traditional Indian Chai, or for a caffeinated pick-me-up, this is not it. This single serve recipe leaves a lot to taste, as everyone prefers something a little different.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :5 Min

Cook Time : 0 Min

Total Time : 5 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 1
  • 1 1⁄2 milk


  • 1 -2 honey


  • 1 ground cinnamon


  • 1 ground cloves


  • 1 ground ginger


  • 1 ground nutmeg


  • 1 ground cardamom


  • 1 ground black pepper

Directions

  • Put honey in mug, microwave for about 10 seconds.
  • Add spices to honey. I did not include amounts in recipe as for a single serving, this is little more than a "pinch" or "sprinkle" of each, you will probably have to play around with the recipe a few times before you know exactly what proportions you prefer. Stir spices in with honey until blended together smoothly.
  • Add milk to honey and spice, microwave about 2-3 minutes, or until hot. Stir well, if it's lost temperature from stirring, microwave briefly to reheat. Enjoy!
