Take: one cardamom pod, cinnamon, one clove, dried ginger and one peppercorn. Crush everything in a mortar. It doesn’t need to be very fine, because you’ll still put it in a tea filter. Now you have a mix for one cup of chai latte.

Heat a cup of milk in a saucepan and place a tea filter in it containing the spice mix and two teaspoons of black tea. After about five minutes, the flavors will have infused into the milk. Fill your favorite tea mug with the chai latte and optionally finish with a shot of vanilla syrup or some honey. Curl up under a blanket on the sofa and enjoy this warm tea on cold days.
