Ingredients:

– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 3/4 cups milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 chai tea bags
– Cooking spray or additional melted butter for waffle iron
Brewing the Chai Tea:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
2. Add the chai tea bags to the milk and let steep for about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the tea bags, squeezing out any excess liquid, and set the milk aside to cool slightly.
Making the Chai Tea Waffles:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the cooled chai-infused milk and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat with cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
5. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
6. Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
7. Serve the Chai Tea Waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
