1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
2
Add Spices and Tea
Once boiling, add the black tea leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and sliced ginger to the boiling water.
3
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors of the spices and tea to infuse the water.

4
Add Milk
After simmering, add 1 cup of milk to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium. Stir occasionally until the milk is heated through but not boiling.
5
Sweeten
Add your preferred sweetener (sugar, honey, or maple syrup) to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
6
Strain
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large mug or teapot to remove the tea leaves and spices.
7
Add Vanilla
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.

8
Serve Hot
Serve the chai latte hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
