In a small saucepan, bring 240 ml of water to a gentle boil.
Add the chai tea bag, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and ground ginger to the water.
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the chai is simmering, brew one shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
After 5 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat, and strain the chai mixture to remove spices.
In a separate pot, gently heat the almond milk over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent scalding.
Once warmed, whisk in the vanilla extract and honey until well combined.
Combine the strained chai mixture with the warm almond milk and add the espresso shot.
Pour the mixture into a mug, and sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free dirty chai latte!
