Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground turmeric, ground cardamom, black pepper, and whole cloves. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Brewing

  1. 3

    Add Tea and Spices

    Once the water is boiling, add the prepared spice mix and the loose black tea or tea bags. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes to extract the flavors.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Sweetener

    After simmering, stir in 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based), 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix well and heat until just below boiling.

  3. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the chai latte into cups or mugs to remove the tea leaves and spices. Serve hot and enjoy!
