    Chai Hot Chocolate

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    A warmly spiced chai hot chocolate that combines two of your favorite drinks in one cozy winter treat.

    Cozy up with a warmly spiced chai hot chocolate this winter #chai #chocolate

    I love a good chai. The warm spices and milky tea puts an instant smile on my face. I sometimes make a large jug of iced chai tea and spend a week slowly enjoying it and dreaming of the colder months where I can enjoy it hot. I love using chai spice in many of my treats and a chai hot chocolate has been a part of my winter routine for years. It's one of those treats I will make when I can enjoy it on my own without my daughter begging me to make her something she likes too or without worrying about a chore list that's a mile long.

    This chai hot chocolate has a delicious balance of spices that perfectly complement the rich chocolate. It's the indulgent winter treat we've all been craving. If you want to go really crazy with it, you can even add a bit of espresso to the mix to make it almost a dirty chai hot chocolate (the only difference being that we are using chai spice, not chai tea in our hot chocolate). It will become a relaxing pick-me-up when you need it. Goodbye, post-lunch slump!

    If you wanted to experiment with using chai tea instead of the chai spices, keep in mind you will also need to adjust the amount of sugar you add as well as the amount of milk. My suggestion would be to infuse the milk with the chai tea before adding it to the hot chocolate.
