Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 Chai tea bags
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

Step 2

Add the chai tea bags to the warm milk mixture, then reduce the heat to low. Steep the tea bags in the milk for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the tea bags and discard them.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom. Mix well.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is smooth and pale in color.

Step 5

Gradually pour a ladleful of the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Repeat with one more ladleful of the milk mixture.

Step 6

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking continuously.

Step 7

Cook the pudding over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 9

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

Chill the puddings in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serve chilled.
