Ingredients

  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 8 cardamom pods
  • 4 cloves
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 star anise
  • small piece of fresh ginger root , sliced
  • 3 black teabags (such as ceylon, assam or English breakfast)
  • 2 cups whole milk or coconut milk
  • 1-2 tbsp light brown soft sugar
  • pinch of ground cinnamon , to serve

Method

  1. Tip the spices into a dry frying pan and toast until fragrant. Put the toasted spices, the ginger and teabags in a teapot or French press with 2 cups freshly boiled water, and leave to infuse for 10 mins.

  2. Heat the milk with the brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Once lightly steaming, froth the top using a milk frother or whisk to create some foam.

  3. Strain the tea between four mugs or heatproof glasses, then pour in the milk, keeping the froth back. Stir to combine. Top each latte with a bit of the milk foam, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon.
