Yummy Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate Recipe

If you’re tired of enjoying the same old hot chocolate recipe over and over again, then you need this Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate in your life. Come along as I show you how to make a new type of hot chocolate. This recipe will be perfect for fall and winter, and any time of the year. 

Chai Flavored Hot Chocolate 

If you’ve ever gone to Starbucks and ordered a chai tea latte, then you may know what this tastes like. EXCEPT, you are adding a touch of hot chocolate to it. Don’t be turned off by how many ingredients are in this recipe.

All of them are important to making it super delicious. I like to make a big batch of this chai chocolate for the weekend and then I just warm it up as I can. 

Keep in mind that you can use only milk instead of the milk and heavy cream combo if you are looking for a healthier alternative. If you are trying to make it a little healthier, then you can also sub the milk for plant-based milk to make it vegan or vegetarian.

I love experimenting with different types of milk because you never know what will taste the most delicious. If you have a milk allergy, give something like cashew milk a try. 

How to Store Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate

What if you made too much of this drink? How do you store it? If you have a pitcher with a lid, this is the perfect place to store it. You can pull it out of the fridge and warm it up as you see fit. A big batch means you save time, but you can enjoy it as much as you’d like. Kids also love this recipe! 

Save money and make your own hot chocolate at home. What was your favorite part of this family-friendly drink recipes?
