Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Combine 1 can of coconut milk with 2 cups of water over medium heat in a medium pot. Add in 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger, 4 pitted Medjool dates, 1 star anise pod, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of both cardamom and cloves. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
  2. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once it bubbles, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. After simmering, remove the pot from heat and take out the star anise. Pour the mixture into a high-powered blender and blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve the Chai Spiced Coconut Milk in mugs while warm. Optionally garnish with a star anise or cinnamon for appeal.
