Prepare two shots of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, etc.). Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water over medium heat.
Once the water is hot, add the black tea bag, cinnamon stick, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves to the saucepan.
Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the tea.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the contents to remove the tea bag, cinnamon stick, and any floating spices, leaving a spiced tea concentrate.
In a separate medium saucepan, heat almond milk and heavy cream over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
Combine the espresso shots, spiced tea concentrate, warm almond milk mixture, liquid stevia, and vanilla extract in a large mug.
Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed and the beverage is creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more liquid stevia, one drop at a time.
Serve immediately, savoring the comforting and rich flavors of your Keto Dirty Chai Latte.
