Preparing the Tea Base

  1. 1

    Boil Water

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

    Add Tea and Spices

    Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves (or tea bags), ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, black peppercorns, and cloves. Stir gently.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

    After 10 minutes, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Preparing the Milk Mixture

  1. 5

    Heat Milk

    In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.

  2. 6

    Sweeten Milk

    Add the sweetener of your choice to the warm milk and stir until fully dissolved.

    Froth Milk (optional)

    If desired, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and airy.

Combining

    Strain Tea

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the tea base into a large mug or teapot to remove the tea leaves and spices.
