Method

  1. Put the spices in a small saucepan and place over a medium heat. Toast for 2-3 mins until fragrant.
  2. Pour over 300ml milk and 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and stir in the teabags and brown sugar. Set aside to steep for 10 mins.
  3. Strain into a bowl to remove the spices and the teabags, then return the liquid to the pan and warm through. Divide between 2 warm mugs. If you like, heat 100ml milk in a small saucepan until just steaming, then whisk to a froth. Spoon on top of the chai latte and serve with a cinnamon stick in each to decorate, if you like.
