Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 black tea bags
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4-5 cardamom pods
  • 4-5 whole cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: extra honey or sweetener to taste

Мethod of preparation

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the cranberries have burst and softened, about 10 minutes. 2. Strain the cranberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and set the cranberry liquid aside. 3. In the same saucepan, combine the cranberry liquid, honey, black tea bags, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, whole cloves, star anise, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it infuse for about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally. 4. Remove the tea bags and whole spices from the saucepan. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the saucepan and heat gently, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through. Avoid bringing it to a boil. 5. Taste the chai and add extra honey or sweetener if desired. 6. Pour the Cosmic Cranberry Chai into mugs and serve hot. Enjoy your out-of-this-world beverage!
