Description
A spooky and delightful Indian Masala Chai Ghost Latte perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons loose black tea (or 2 tea bags)
- 1 cup full-fat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
- Ghost-shaped marshmallows (for decoration)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the water in a saucepan. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the black tea leaves or tea bags and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes to extract the flavors.
- Next, incorporate the sweetener along with the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2 minutes, letting the spices meld beautifully.
- Gradually pour in the milk and heat the mixture until it’s steaming hot, ensuring it doesn’t reach a boil. Stir in the vanilla essence for that extra touch of flavor.
- Once heated, strain the tea into your favorite mugs, discarding the tea leaves or bags.
- Finish off each latte with a fluffy layer of whipped cream, then drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for a delightful presentation.
- Finally, place ghost-shaped marshmallows atop the whipped cream for a festive touch.
Notes
- For a richer taste, consider using half-and-half instead of whole milk.
- A dash of nutmeg can also be added for an extra layer of warmth.
- If you prefer a caffeine-free option, swap the black tea for rooibos tea.
