Instructions
Start by toasting your spices in a saucepan until their wonderful aroma is released.
Add the grated ginger and water (ideally filtered water) and simmer gently for five minutes.
Take the saucepan off the heat. Add the tea leaves or tea bags, cover the saucepan and leave the tea to steep for five minutes.
Add your choice of sweetener (I used maple syrup) and stir to dissolve in the hot tea.
Strain the chai into a teapot or jug for easy pouring (discarding the tea and spices). Either use straight away or cool and store in the fridge to use within 2-3 days.
Meanwhile heat your milk until almost scalding. Steam your milk using a milk frother or an immersion blender or your coffee machine frother if you have one.
Divide the hot tea into mugs or glasses, filling about ¾ of the way. Add a splash of Amarula Vanilla Spice.
Top with a little more milk and spoon some of the milk foam over the chai. Serve with a cinnamon stick and a grating of nutmeg or sprinkling of cinnamon.
