Chai Hot Chocolate

Chai Hot Chocolate

The combination of Chai flavors are truly my favorite. If I could turn every baked recipe into “chai spiced……” I would. I love the warmth of cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, its just so comforting. I threw everything into a pot and just let it simmer allowing the aromas to fill the house. After I strained it, I stirred just a hint of coconut cream to add richness and help round out the spices. Mmmmmm, sitting here drinking up this lovely chai cocoa, my brain is already racking up ways to chai- ify something……chai spiced carrots? Chai cashew dip? Chai crackers? Chai……..

Enjoy!
