Happy New Year! It’s the second day of 2017, and if I’m honest, I’m finding it hard to slide back into my usual routine. The cold weather makes me want to stay curled up under a blanket, but a comforting cup of white chai hot chocolate is helping me start the year on a cozy note.
This white chai hot chocolate is rich, warming, and simple to make—perfect for shaking off the winter blues and tempting even the most reluctant early riser out of bed. Below is the recipe so you can enjoy it at home.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 4 tablespoons chai concentrate
- 1 white chocolate candy bar (or about 4 ounces of chopped white chocolate)
Instructions
Combine the milk and half-and-half in a saucepan and heat gently until the mixture begins to simmer. Add the chai concentrate and the white chocolate, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the drink is smooth. This recipe makes about two servings.
For an extra indulgent twist, add a scoop of homemade chai ice cream on top for more chai flavor and an extra-creamy finish.
