1
Crush the Spices
In a mortar and pestle, crush the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, ginger, and black peppercorns to release their flavors.

2
Boil Water
In a saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
3
Add Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the crushed spices to the saucepan and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
4
Add Tea Leaves
Add the black tea leaves to the simmering water and spices. Allow it to brew for an additional 3-5 minutes based on your desired strength.

5
Strain the Tea
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the tea mixture into a separate container to remove the solids.
6
Add Milk and Sweetener
In the same saucepan, add 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or sweetener) to the strained tea. Heat over low heat until warm, but do not boil.
7
Whisk for Froth
Using a whisk or milk frother, whisk the mixture until it is frothy and well combined.

8
Pour and Enjoy
Pour the Masala Chai Latte into a cup and enjoy it hot. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish.
