- 2 cups whole milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves or 2 black tea bags
- 1-2 tablespoons cannabis-infused honey or butter
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4-5 green cardamom pods
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 -inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 star anise (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, ginger slices, and star anise (if using). Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to release the spices' flavors.
Add the black tea leaves or tea bags to the saucepan and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. If using tea bags, remove them after brewing.
Pour in the milk and add the sugar. Stir well and heat the mixture until it’s hot but not boiling.
Add the cannabis-infused honey or butter to the saucepan and whisk until it is fully melted and incorporated into the chai mixture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the chai through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into mugs to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your relaxing Cannabis-Infused Chai Latte!
- Adjust the amount of cannabis-infused honey or butter based on your tolerance and desired potency.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- The chai can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
