Spiced, creamy, and wonderfully fragrant, this cup carries the comfort of the season in every sip.

Think cinnamon sticks, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice simmering gently, finished with a cloud of whipped cream and a light dusting of spice on top. It’s festive, cozy, and just the right amount of indulgent. Whether you’re gathering with friends or enjoying a quiet evening under twinkling lights, this Gingerbread Chai Latte makes the moment sweeter.

How Gingerbread Met Chai

Sometimes the best recipes come from simple “what if” moments. Chai is already filled with warming spices, so when the holidays roll around, adding a touch of gingerbread feels like the most natural next step. A pinch of nutmeg here, a cinnamon stick there, and suddenly the chai latte takes on a festive twist.

It is the kind of drink that makes you smile because it feels both familiar and new, comforting like chai always is but dressed up for the season. And that is what makes this Gingerbread Chai Latte fun: it is not just a recipe; it is chai in holiday mode.

How to Prepare a Gingerbread Chai Latte

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 cups water

• 2 sachets Tea India Ginger Instant Chai Latte (sweetened or unsweetened)

• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 cinnamon stick

• Optional: sweetener of choice (if using the unsweetened chai)

• Whipped cream for topping

• Extra sprinkle of nutmeg for garnish
  

Instructions

1. Pour 2 cups of water into a small saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Let it come to a rolling boil, the kind where bubbles rise steadily to the surface.

2. Open 2 sachets of Tea India Ginger Instant Chai Latte and stir them into the boiling water. The powder will dissolve quickly, releasing that signature chai aroma into the kitchen.

3. Drop in the cinnamon stick and sprinkle in the allspice and nutmeg. Stir gently, then lower the heat so the mixture simmers softly. Let it bubble away for 2–3 minutes to allow the spices to mingle and deepen the flavor.

4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a fine mesh strainer to catch the cinnamon stick and any spice bits as you carefully pour the chai into two mugs.

5. Top each mug with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle a little nutmeg over the top for that picture-perfect holiday touch.

6. Serve warm and enjoy immediately. The creamy, spiced chai latte is best when shared, but no one will blame you if you keep both mugs for yourself.
