1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Tea and Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves (or tea bags), cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and grated ginger. Stir well.
3
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the tea mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Sweeten
Remove from heat and strain the tea into a jug or teapot. Add sugar or sweetener to taste, stirring until dissolved.

5
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
6
Froth Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to froth the milk until it is creamy and has doubled in volume. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

7
Combine
Pour the hot tea base into a large mug, filling it about two-thirds full.
8
Add Milk Foam
Top the tea with the frothed milk, spooning the foam generously over the top.
9
Serve
Serve hot or iced. For iced, let the tea cool down before pouring over ice.
