Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Immersion blender (optional)
  • Heatproof mug or glass
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Stirring spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 chai tea bags or 2 tsp loose-leaf chai tea
  • 1 cup whole milk or oat/almond milk
  • 2 oz whiskey or bourbon
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 small slice fresh ginger
  • 1 cardamom pod lightly crushed
  • black pepper pinch
  • ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium until it starts to steam.
  • Add chai tea bags, cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper. Let steep for 5–7 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags and strain out the whole spices.
  • Stir in sugar until dissolved.
  • Froth the milk mixture with a whisk or immersion blender if desired.
  • Pour into a heatproof mug.

Notes

Adjust sweetness and spice to taste. Oat milk gives a creamier texture than almond milk. A cinnamon stick garnish works as a stirrer and adds extra aroma.
