Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • ½ cup sugar, see notes
  • 2 3-inch cinnamon sticks
  • 4 star anise
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 2 teaspoon cardamon seeds
  • 8 teabags black tea
  • milk, see notes

Instructions

  • Combine the water, sugar, and spices in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil, and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off and add the teabags to the saucepan. Allow the tea to steep for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely.
  • In whatever proportions you desire, pour the cooled tea over ice and top with milk.

Notes

Notes:
  • You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar to suit your tastes. I've used both brown and white granulated sugar with success.
  • I have used cows milk and almond milk. I can't speak to how these iced lattes turn out when using another kind.
