- 1 unit Star anise
- 1 inch piece, sliced Fresh ginger
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, star anise, and fresh ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the spices to simmer for 5 minutes to extract their flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags. Let the tea steep in the spiced water for another 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
Strain the tea into a pitcher, discarding the whole spices and tea bags.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener of choice to the strained tea. Stir until well combined.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, and pour the keto chai mixture evenly into the glasses over the ice.
Garnish with an additional cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired, and serve immediately.
