Warm Up Chai Tea

February 3, 2016 by Karen Giebel 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s been one of those days here in Bavaria. Rain, more rain and that damp cold that goes right through a body. In other words, a perfect day for a hot mug of Chai Tea. Chock full of warming spices like clove, cinnamon and ginger, this will warm you clear down to your toes! Unfortunately, I have not found Chai for sale in any of the stores here, but fortunately I have a cupboard full of spices to make the perfect pot of Chai! This recipe came about through an Internet search, but I can’t attribute it to any one source as I simply don’t remember. But, of course, I have modified it to suit my tastes mainly because I can’t leave any recipe “as is.” Dan laughs at me as I have this compulsion to modify and “improve” each and every recipe I find. I think this one turned out very nice. Let’s go build us some Warm Up Chai Tea!

Here’s what we’ll use.

Chai Ingredients

  • Stir in the Vanilla Soy Milk.
  • Get out another large pan and strain the Chai Tea to remove all the spices.
