Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (any percentage or milk alternative)
- 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) good-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 1 chai tea bag
Toppings:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Select a small saucepan and gently warm the milk over medium-low temperature, creating a gentle simmer that prevents scorching.
- Submerge the chai tea bag into the warming milk, ensuring the paper tag remains clear of direct heat to avoid burning.
- Once delicate steam emerges and tiny bubbles dance around the liquid’s edges, remove the pan from the heat source.
- Allow the tea bag to luxuriate in the milk, releasing its aromatic spices for approximately two minutes, gently pressing against the pan’s side to extract maximum flavor essence.
- Discard the thoroughly steeped tea bag, returning the milk-infused liquid to a moderate heat setting.
- Gradually introduce the chopped white chocolate, stirring continuously with a smooth, deliberate motion until the chocolate dissolves completely, transforming the mixture into a velvety, uniform beverage.
- Transfer the chai-white chocolate elixir into a waiting mug, creating an inviting presentation.
- Optional: Crown the drink with a billowing cloud of whipped cream and a delicate dusting of ground cinnamon for an elevated sensory experience.
- Cradle the warm mug, inhale the fragrant spices, and savor each comforting sip of this indulgent winter brew.
