Whole milk is melted with rich bittersweet chocolate and sweetened with brown sugar, then infused with the warm, spicy notes of cardamom and a surprising pinch of black pepper. Ready in just 10 minutes, it's the perfect single-serving indulgence to treat yourself to pure, spiced comfort!

A glass mason jar mug of light brown Chai Hot Chocolate dusted with cinnamon is on a rustic metal tray. Two squares of dark chocolate, cardamom pods, a cinnamon stick, and peppercorns are scattered around the base.
