Vanilla Chai Hot Chocolate
Vanilla Chai Hot Chocolate is the coziest fall and winter treat! Easy, homemade hot chocolate infused with all the flavors of a vanilla chai latte. Perfect for sipping on a chilly night.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 4 chai tea bags (I used Tazo)
- 4 cups whole milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate bar finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Over high heat, bring water to boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add chai tea bags. Cover with a lid and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Pour the milk into the saucepan with the tea and mix together. Simmer over medium-low heat (do not boil) for about 7-10 minutes until milk is heated through to a desirable temperature. (During this step, you can leave the tea bags in the milk for a deeper chai flavor, but use caution as the strings on the tea bags may hang close to the flame/burner.)
- Discard the tea bags, and add cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate, and vanilla. Whisk well to combine.
- Remove from heat and serve warm topped with marshmallows or whipped cream!
