Is there anything more decadent and luxurious than relaxing by the fire with a favorite book and a cup of chai latte? A soft afghan thrown over you and a quiet house all around? Maybe….but I don’t know what it is.

Try this when you are in that kind of mood…

Chai Latte Recipe

2 cups water

4 heaping teaspoons of loose leaf black tea

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cinnamon sticks

1 tsp grated orange peel

8 whole cloves

4 black peppercorns

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

2 cups half and half

Bring the water, sugar, and spices to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour into a tea kettle with an infuser (or be prepared to strain later). Add tea to the infuser and submerge in the water. Allow to steep for 3 -5 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
Meanwhile heat the half and half (or milk) just to a simmer. Pour carefully in blender and blend until frothy.
Strain tea into heated mugs that have been filled halfway with frothed milk. Serves 4.
