1 stick

Cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp

Ground Nutmeg

1/4 tsp

Ground Ginger

2 1/2 cups

Water

Black Tea Bags

Instructions

Add the star anise, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, ginger, water, tea bags and honey to a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the tea bags.

Strain the tea into a large bowl or measuring cup and then stir in the vanilla.

Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan until heated through, being careful not to boil it. Use a frother to froth, or pour into a blender and carefully blend until frothy.

Pour the chai mix into a mug, filling about half way (this will make 3 to 4 servings), reserve extra in a jar if not using.

Pour the almond milk on top.
