Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 4-5 black tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose-leaf black tea
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4-5 whole cloves
  • 4-5 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup cannabis-infused milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • Optional: Whipped cream, cinnamon sprinkle for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Brew the Chai Concentrate: In a small saucepan, combine the water, black tea bags (or loose-leaf tea), cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, ginger slices, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Strain the Chai Concentrate: Strain the chai concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve into a mug or heatproof glass. Discard the tea bags and spices.
  3. Heat the Milk: In a separate saucepan or microwave, heat the regular milk and cannabis-infused milk until warm, but not boiling.
  4. Combine and Sweeten: Pour the warm milk mixture into the strained chai concentrate. Add honey or maple syrup to taste and stir well to combine.
  5. Froth the Milk (Optional): If desired, use a milk frother to froth the milk mixture for a creamier texture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Pour the cannabis-infused chai latte into a mug and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Enjoy your cannabis-infused chai latte responsibly! Remember to start with a small portion to gauge the effects, as potency can vary. This comforting and flavorful beverage is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the subtle benefits of cannabis.
