I am a Chai fanatic! I’ve tasted it made many ways. It was a delight to try this recipe from http://figandquince.com/2014/02/03/cacao-herbshoppe-brooklyn-cardamom-yummy-drink/ (Chai; brought to you by, Fig & Quince!)
As she mentioned in her recipe…all ingredients; adjust to your taste!
As for the ingredients, I made mine with 2 cups grass-fed raw unpasteurized milk
8 whole cardamoms
10 cloves
1 tablespoon organic cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon organic ground ginger
1/4 cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon good vanilla (homemade by me in Bourbon)
1 teaspoon raw unpasteurized honey.
Slowly simmer the whole cardamoms and cloves in milk. When milk is hot, add all other ingredients. Gently stir. Pour into large mug and enjoy! (I didn’t strain out the cardamoms and cloves, but for those of you who want to…please do! 😉 )
This was a wonderful treat and sipping it by the fire was extra nice. Thank you Azita!
If you try this drink, please drop me a comment. If you have a chai recipe you’d like to share…I’d love to hear from you!

I am a chai addict & will surely try this one out. Perfect for this cold weather.
Oh good! And if you have a favorite chai recipe; I hope you will share 😉 I am thinking of doing a chai by infusing the cardamom and cloves and a stick of cinnamon…for another post! 🙂
I’m loving that fire place for this winter weather.
It comes in handy! I got that one going this morning and have had it burning most of the day! The dogs love it too! They will lay in front of it and then turn to the other side for roasting! 😛
This sounds great (: I don’t think I’ve ever had a chai that includes cacao powder! Usually I just use a combo of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper (and honey of course)
It is supposed to be very cold this weekend so I will have to try this recipe (:
This was a first for me too. I am going to experiment with different infusions. Chai teas are so delicious. I love all the spices!
me too!
Oh my gosh, that fire! I’m rapt. I’m also beyond thrilled that you tried the recipe and it proved to your liking. I love your photographs of it. Thank you so much for sharing! xoxoxo
It was inspired by YOU! 😀 I must admit I was in front of that fire a lot of the day! 😉 In between the vacuuming and laundry of course!
ps forgot the important matter of appreciating that awesome pun. Cha Cha Chai is per per perfect! 🙂
Thank you dear! ❀
It looks yummy but have to wait til winter to try this. We are in middle of hot summer so need iced drink :). Take care..
A must try. And I am going to do my best not to wish it were summer now! Hahahaha. I guess I have chai lattes to drink!
nice 😀 perfect
Thank you ✿
I have nearly all of these ingredients definitely making this…except the temperature in Florida has shot up to summer standards so I’ll wait until it dips back down again lol
Okay, I’m a little jealous of your weather. Try this by simmering cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, and fresh ginger in 2 cups of water. Then add one or two (good brand) black tea bags. Let sit in pot for two minutes. Take out tea bags. Sweeten to taste. Strain out all solids. Pour over ice! ✿
I love Chai as well! I am definitely going to try this! 🙂
Yay, I hope you enjoy it. ✾
Chai with Cacao and Honey!
Luxurious!
😀
Thanks for sharing your yummy recipe Koko! Maybe now I will save money on Starbucks’ chai latte with soy! 🙂
And you can make this using soy instead of milk. Almond milk could work too! Adjust ingredients and have fun with experimenting. 🙂
lovely post.. 🙂
Thank you so much. And nice to have you stop by 🙂
WC 🙂
Intriguing, I may try that myself.
Thanks for being here! By the way, I’m going to check the city codes for bee keeping here. 🙂
I made it with unsweetened soy milk & loved sipping it too! xxxx
That’s fantastic. What a joy it’s been for me to see all your messages. I needed a boost today! Life sometimes…. I’m so happy you enjoyed your chai drink. Cooking is wonderful. You can adjust and make a lot of things to suit your own needs. I love that! 🙂 Enjoy your evening. Koko
Sounds good. I will try, and my daughter makes chai so I will share her recipe
Chai is so yummy. I’ve made it so many ways. So fun to try a bit of this and a bit of that! My daughter loves chai too. 😉
