Servings: 2
Calories: 368kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 6 whole cloves
- 5 cardamom pods crushed
- 2 whole star anise
- 2 pieces dried orange peel or 1 piece fresh zest
- 2 large cinnamon sticks broken in half
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit powdered, or more to taste, or use stevia glycerite to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 bags orange pekoe tea or other favorite black tea, preferably decaf
- 2 eggs
- 1 scoop collagen peptides optional
- 1/4 teaspoon orange oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Simmer all ingredients except eggs, orange oil, and vanilla for 15 minutes.
- Blend eggs, orange oil, and vanilla in a blender and with the machine running, pour the simmered chai through a fine mesh strainer and directly into the eggs. The heat will cook them and the eggs will thicken the drink.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
To make a lighter version of this, skip the cream and water and use 3 full cups of unsweetened coconut or almond beverage and use 2 eggs instead of 5.
