sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener, while jaggery is often cheaper and less processed.

Pour four cups of water into the instant pot. Fill a tea bag with all the spices and drop it in the pot. Cinnamon sticks can just be dropped in without a bag. Add in vanilla. Put on the lid and turn to 'sealing.' Manually set the time to 2 minutes and start it.

When time is up, release the pressure valve by turning to 'releasing' from 'sealing.' Be careful of the steam that comes out while doing this.

As soon as the steam has stopped releasing and pressure has come all the way down, open the lid and add in your tea. Cover and set to 'sealing' then set the timer to steep tea for three minutes. Once timer goes off, take tea and spices out. Alternatively, you can leave spices in to make the chai spicier.

At this point, add in your sugar or other sweetener, milk and cream and mix together. Congratulations! your Chai is done! If you aren't serving it immediately, put the lid back on to sealing and set the instant pot to low/keep warm. Otherwise, grab the saucer and pour a cup of tea!
