Instructions
Chai Syrup
- Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

- Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Take the syrup off the heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Store the syrup in an airtight jar or a bottle in the fridge.
Chai Hot Chocolate
- Add everything to a small saucepan and warm up over medium heat. Whisk the mixture until everything is well mixed and the chocolate melted to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- It shouldn’t boil or simmer, just steam.
- Serve the hot chocolate in a mug topped with whipped cream and a dusting of chai spice if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
The syrup will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
