Ingredients

• 4 black chai tea bags, opened, with contents reserved
• 1/2 vanilla bean, split down the center and seeds scraped out
• 10 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (about half a 14-ounce can)
• One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
• 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Special equipment: six 3-ounce frozen pop molds
2. Put the evaporated milk, chai tea and vanilla bean in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture starts to simmer, remove from the heat, cover and steep for 30 minutes.
3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl and whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. Pour the mixture into the pop molds and freeze until completely solid, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4. To unmold: run the molds briefly under warm water.
