Chocolate Chai

Dana Jacobi
Serves: 4
 
Chai should be spicy, sweet, and served steaming hot. This one also includes chocolate, which goes so well with spices. A drink that helps stimulate digestion, thanks to the spices in it, chai is good served after a big meal, as well as for a stimulating breakfast drink or mid-afternoon pick-up. If you do not have a vanilla bean, mix a teaspoon of real vanilla extract in just before pouring the Chai.
