1
Prepare the Spice Blend
In a small saucepan, add water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, grated ginger, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2
Brew the Tea
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves or tea bags. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
3
Add Milk and Sweetener
After simmering, add the milk and sugar (or sweetener) to the saucepan. Stir well and heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
4
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into cups or a teapot to remove the spices and tea leaves.

5
Serve Hot
If you prefer your chai latte hot, serve immediately in a mug. You may sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish.
6
Serve Iced
For an iced chai latte, let the chai mixture cool to room temperature, then pour over ice in a glass. Optional: Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
