Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 2 bags chai tea
  • 3 tablespoons basil seeds
  • 1 1/4 cup coconut milk or your milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Refrigerator-safe container
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling 3/4 cup of water. Remove from heat and add the chai tea bags. Allow to steep for about 5 minutes.
  2. While the tea is steeping, place the basil seeds in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In the bowl with steeped chai tea, remove tea bags and whisk in coconut milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.
  4. Once the basil seeds are ready, add them to the chai mixture and stir gently until combined.
  5. Transfer to a refrigerator-safe container, cover, and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Notes

  • Make the pudding up to 3 days in advance and store in an airtight container.
  • Stir before serving as basil seeds may settle.
  • Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or granola for added texture.
