1
Prepare the Spice Mixture
In a small saucepan, combine the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and freshly grated ginger.
2
Boil the Spices
Add 2 cups of water to the saucepan with the spices. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
3
Add the Tea Leaves
After simmering, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves to the saucepan. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
4
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a separate pot or large heatproof container to remove the spices and tea leaves.
5
Heat the Milk
In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over low heat until steaming but not boiling.
6
Combine and Sweeten
Pour the strained spice and tea mixture into the saucepan with the heated milk. Stir in sugar, adjusting to taste.
7
Serve
Pour the chai latte into cups and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.
