Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the 250 ml of water to a boil.

Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Remove the pan from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes for a stronger flavor.
Strain the tea into a bowl or another container to remove the spices and tea bags.
Stir in the vanilla extract and honey (or sugar) until dissolved.
Let the chai concentrate cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it for faster cooling.
