Recipe View Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ham registers at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), approximately 5 1/2 hours. For best results, baste the ham once or twice with the accumulated juices during the cooking process to enhance the glaze. (5 hours 30 minutes)

For a deeper, richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker juices during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will create a beautiful, glossy finish.
Feel free to experiment with different tea concentrates. Apple cider or even a spiced rum extract can add unique and delicious twists to this recipe.

    I was skeptical about the chai tea, but it really works! The ham had a delicious, subtle spice that everyone loved. Will definitely make this again!

    My family raved about this ham! The slow cooker makes it so tender, and the glaze is just the right amount of sweet. I added a pinch of ground cloves to the brown sugar for an extra layer of flavor.

    This recipe was a lifesaver! So easy to make and the ham was incredibly moist and flavorful. The chai tea adds such a unique touch!
