- 3 teaspoons black tea leaves (preferably Ceylon or Assam)
- 1.5 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk)

Instructions
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the black tea leaves, ground cardamom, and ground cinnamon to the boiling water. Stir and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the tea sit for 2 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a heat-safe container to remove the tea leaves and spices.
In a cup, combine the strained tea with the low-fat sweetened condensed milk. Stir until fully dissolved and well mixed.
Add the low-fat milk (or almond milk) and mix thoroughly to create a creamy, smooth tea base.
Fill a serving glass or cup with ice cubes, then pour the prepared tea over the ice.
