Ingredients
Method

Ingredients

50g · Chopped Pecans

30g · Unsalted Butter ​

480ml · Almond Milk

5 · Caramom Pods

1 · Star Anise

Pinch of sea salt ​

1 tbsp · Organic Pure Maple Syrup ​

1/2 tsp · Ground Cinnamon

2 · Chai Tea Bags ​

Cinnamon Sugar (to garnish)

Garnish

Black Cocoa Powder​

Edible Gold Sugar

Method

1. Infuse the base

​In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and gently toast the chopped pecans for 2 minutes until golden and fragrant. This step builds a rich, nutty foundation.​

2. Layer the flavours

Pour in the almond milk and add the cardamom pods, star anise, sea salt, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently and bring the mixture just to the edge of a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.​

3. Strain for smoothness

​Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove solids, leaving a silky, spiced milk.​

4. Brew the chai

Steep 2 chai tea bags in 200ml of freshly boiled water for 5 minutes to extract deep, aromatic notes.​

5. Froth and combine

Froth the spiced milk until light and airy. Pour it slowly over the brewed chai, allowing the layers to mingle.​

6. Garnish with flair

Finish with a dusting of black cocoa powder and a delicate line of edible gold sugar. For an extra touch, serve with candied ginger pieces on the side.​

7. Serve with style

​Present in ​​a matte ceramic mug to elevate the experience — warm, comforting, and visually indulgent.
