🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, chai tea bags, and cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and let the tea steep for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse properly. The longer you steep it, the stronger the chai flavor will be. Mmm, that smells amazing!
  3. Remove the chai tea bags and cardamom pods. Gently discard them; you've extracted all the deliciousness!
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and sweetener until well combined. This helps prevent clumping later on.
  5. Pour the warm chai tea mixture over the chia seed and sweetener mixture. Whisk everything together vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure all the chia seeds are evenly coated.
  6. Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover the top with plastic wrap or lids.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency. Patience, young Padawan!
  8. Once the pudding has set, add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. You could even add a sprinkle of extra cardamom for that extra zesty punch.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious and healthy Chai Tea Chia Seed Pudding with Cardamom. It’s simply divine!

📝 Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the pudding briefly with an immersion blender after it has set.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of milk and sweeteners to create your own unique flavor combinations.
  • If you don't have cardamom pods, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom instead.
