Ingredients

For Brownies

  • ½ cup milk divided {I used almond milk}
  • 3 tablespoons Palais des Thes Chai Imperial loose tea
  • ½ cup {8 tablespoons} butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1⅔ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Chai Glaze

  • cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup remaining chai spiced milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare and 8x8 inch baking pan* by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with foil for easy removal.
  • In a small saucepan {or in a microwave safe cup}, heat milk until steaming. Add loose Chai Imperial and allow to steep for 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs until fully combined.
  • Using a strainer, pour milk/tea mixture into a small cup or bowl, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible-- discard tea solids. Whisk ¼ cup of tea mixture into the wet ingredients. Set remaining ¼ cup aside for use in glaze.
  • In another bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined and no dry spots are left. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

For Chai Glaze

  • In a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in cocoa powder until dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and add chai spiced milk and vanilla extract.
  • Beat in confectioners sugar until smooth.
  • Quickly pour glaze over cooled brownies and allow to set, about 20 minutes. Slice and serve brownies.

Notes

*You can also make this in a 9x13 inch pan. The brownies will be thinner and may bake a bit faster, so check on them after 18-20 minutes.
