This warming spiced tea latte has become our café's signature comfort drink, beloved by everyone from busy commuters to cozy afternoon visitors. We've perfected our blend of traditional Indian spices to create the perfect balance of warmth, sweetness, and aromatic complexity. The secret lies in simmering the spices with the tea to extract maximum flavour, then creating that perfect creamy foam that makes every sip feel like a warm hug.
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine water, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to release the spice flavours.
Step 2: Add the tea bags to the spiced water and steep for 3-4 minutes for strong tea base. Remove tea bags and strain out the whole spices if desired, or leave them in for extra flavour.
