I’ve been in search of the perfect at-home chai recipe for years now. I was a little nervous to make this for Friendsgiving, as I still feel like I’m always tweaking the spices. But I think I have finally found the perfect recipe. And I have witnesses! You can always adjust the spice (or sweetness) level to fit your palette.
Spiced Chai, makes 2-3 servings
Needed: 2 bags black tea (any kind), 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 5 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk.
Fill a tea pot with 5-6 cups water. Add the tea bags and bring to a boil. Stir in the spices and turn the heat down to low.
When you are ready to serve add 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk to each cup. Pour in the hot tea and stir to dissolve the milk. Serve with a cinnamon stick! xo. Elsie
We love to use maple syrup instead of sugar! Must be the Canadian in us!
That nail polish is Commander In Chic, I believe
Have you ladies been to Gem of India in town? They have some of the most delicious chai in the world there… but since I’m now living hundreds of miles away from good ol’ Springfield MO I’ll have to try your recipe now.
This recipe sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it.
I am a chai FREAK! I am excited to try this recipe!
Just made this – SO yummy! Really, how can you go wrong with sweetened condensed milk?! Thank you for the recipe.
It’s great how simple this sounds for such a yummy drink. You’ve inspired me to try some new recipes on my next free day x
I’ve been making my own Chai for years. My secret is to put all the spices in a blender along with some brown sugar and whip it up so that everything is finely ground and blended well. Then I make my black tea and add almond milk and some of the spices to it. Beyond good… 🙂
i never had a spiced chai, but this looks really nice!
thanks for sharing 🙂

AH! I’m so happy that you posted this! I always spend money on chai latte’s because I can never get the recipe right at home. I literally made one this morning at home, hated it, and went out to get some today. So i’ll definitely be trying this! Thanks!
