Ingredients

3-4 cups of water
1 cup of Nut Pod Creamer
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tea bag any kind of black tea
2-4 cardamom pods
1 teaspoon of whole cloves
1 whole nutmeg or a piece that's been grated down

Instructions

Add water, tea bag and spices to a small saucepan on medium to high heat
Bring to a boil, then continue to boil for 10-20 minutes
Then add the creamer and vanilla extract and continue to boil for 5 minutes
Remove from heat, then strain off the spices and tea bag
Pour into your favorite tea cup or mug and enjoy warm

Notes

I use a decaffeinated black tea for my chai, but feel free to use any black tea blend you like.

Letting the milk/creamer boil in the tea adds to the creaminess of the chai.

For the nutmeg I use leftover bits of nutmeg that are too tiny to grate without shredding my fingers and I just add them to the water with all the other spices.
