Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 4 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Cardamom pods
- 5 pieces Black peppercorns
- 1 inch (sliced) Fresh ginger
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the water, cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, and sliced ginger.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer gently for about 10 minutes. This will infuse the water with the spices.
After 10 minutes, add the black tea bags and let them steep in the spice mixture for about 5 minutes. Adjust the time as needed for your preferred tea strength.
Remove the tea bags and strain the spiced tea into a clean saucepan to remove solids like cloves, cinnamon stick, and ginger slices.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the spiced tea and heat gently over low heat. Do not boil. Stir occasionally to combine.
Once the mixture is heated through, stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
Pour the chai tea latte into cups, and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon on top.
