Ingredients:
-625 mL (2 ½ cups) milk, any kind
-Optional garnish: ground cinnamon
Chai Concentrate:
-625 mL (2 ½ cups) water
-30 mL (2 tbsp) Assam loose tea
-45 mL (3 tbsp) brown sugar
-1 cinnamon stick
-1 star anise (optional: 1 more for garnish)
-10 cardamom pods
-10 whole cloves
-10 mL (2 tsp) ground nutmeg
-5 mL (1 tsp) vanilla extract
-1 mL (¼ tsp) ground ginger
-1 mL (¼ tsp) black peppercorns
Whipped Cream:
-250 mL (1 cup) heavy cream
-30 mL (2 tbsp) sugar
Instructions:
Make Chai Concentrate: Crush and roughly chop star anise, cloves, and cardamom pods. In a saucepan, add all ingredients for chai concentrate except for the vanilla extract. High quality water will make your tea taste better so use filtered water if you can.
Simmer on low for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Strain out tea and spice solids. Add vanilla extract.
Heat Milk: Simmer milk on low on the stovetop until you see little bubbles form along the edges. Turn off heat.
Make Whipped Cream: Whip together heavy cream and sugar. Use a handheld milk frother to whip heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Whisk the ingredients in a tall container so you're not making a mess.
Assemble Drink: Into a mug, pour in the chai concentrate, then milk, and top with whipped cream. This recipe makes 4 servings so divide each part (chai concentrate, milk, whipped cream) into 4 cups. Optionally, garnish with ground cinnamon and a whole star anise.
