A delightful and aromatic spiced chai latte recipe that brings warmth and comfort to your day.
Combine the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, star anise, and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Crush the cardamom pods slightly to release more flavor.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Cover the saucepan to retain the heat and enhance the steeping process.
Bring the mixture back to a boil, then add the black tea. Turn off the heat and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
Adjust the steeping time based on your desired tea strength.
Stir in the honey and milk, then strain the mixture into a pitcher.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother blend.
Serve the chai latte warm in cups and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a star anise for a decorative touch.
