Remember those campfire nights, huddled around the crackling flames, roasting marshmallows until they were perfectly golden brown and gooey? The sweet, smoky aroma, the feeling of warmth spreading through your hands... It's a memory I cherish, and one I wanted to capture in a cup. And honestly who dosnt like marshmallows! So, that’s how the idea for Toasted Marshmallow Chai was born. This isnt just a drink; it's a nostalgic trip down memory lane, a comforting hug in a mug, and a celebration of simple pleasures.
This recipe is surprisingly easy to make, and the results are absolutely worth it. We're talking about rich, spiced chai infused with the unmistakable flavor of toasted marshmallows. Imagine the creamy sweetness mingling with the warmth of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. The best part? You can customize it to your liking! Prefer a stronger chai flavor? Add more spices. Want it sweeter? Go crazy with the marshmallows (within reason, of course!). I like mine with a dash of honey, but brown sugar works great too

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Chai Concentrate: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, ginger slices, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water. The kitchen should start smelling amazing!
- Toast the Marshmallows: While the chai concentrate simmers, prepare your marshmallows. You can use a gas stovetop, a kitchen torch, or even your oven's broiler. If using a stovetop or torch, carefully toast the marshmallows until they are golden brown and slightly charred on the outside. If using the broiler, place the marshmallows on a baking sheet and broil for a few seconds, watching closely to prevent burning. Dont walk away - trust me!
- Strain the Chai Concentrate: Once the chai concentrate has simmered, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-resistant container or directly into your mug.
- Combine Chai and Milk: In your mug, combine the strained chai concentrate with the milk of your choice. I personally love using oat milk for its creamy texture, but almond milk, soy milk, or even regular dairy milk work just as well. Adjust the ratio of chai to milk to your liking.
- Add Sweetener (Optional): If desired, add honey, maple syrup, or sugar to sweeten the chai to your taste. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
- Garnish with Toasted Marshmallows: Carefully place the toasted marshmallows on top of the chai latte, allowing them to melt slightly into the warm beverage.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Toasted Marshmallow Chai immediately and savor the delightful combination of spiced chai and smoky toasted marshmallows. Take a moment to appreciate the cozy warmth and comforting flavors.
📝 Notes
- For a stronger chai flavor, use more spices or simmer for a longer time.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
- You can use store-bought chai concentrate for a quicker option, but homemade is always better!
- Experiment with different types of milk to find your favorite.
