Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 6 pods Cardamom pods
- 5 pieces Cloves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger (sliced)
- 8 pieces Peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoons Loose-leaf black tea (or herbal tea blend)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (lightly crushed), cloves, sliced ginger, peppercorns, and fennel seeds to the boiling water.
Lower the heat and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the loose-leaf tea (or herbal tea blend) to the saucepan and let it steep for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Pour in the milk and increase the heat slightly until the mixture is just about to boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Sweeten the tea with sugar, honey, or your sweetener of choice, adjusting to taste, and stir until dissolved.
Strain the chai tea through a fine-mesh sieve into individual cups or a teapot to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Herbal Chai Tea.
