- Cinnamon1–1 ½ inches
- Black pepper4
- Clove2–3
- Vanilla½ tsp
- Milk1 cup
Instructions
- Grind or crush the cinnamon, cloves, deseeded green cardamom and black pepper to a coarse powder.
- Put the water, all the ground spices, sugar and tea in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then simmer 3 to 4 minutes until reduced to nearly ⅓ cup.
- Add the vanilla and turn off the heat.
- For stronger flavour, cover and steep for about 10 minutes, then strain. The concentrate is ready; keep it warm or refrigerate it if you are not using it now.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat until steam just starts to rise, without boiling.
- Pour the milk into a heatproof 16 oz (500 ml) mason jar and seal it tightly. Shake until frothy, or froth for 25 to 35 seconds with a frother.
- Pour in ½ to ¾ of the concentrate, top with the milk and froth, and garnish with cinnamon if you like.
- Taste and add more concentrate for a stronger flavour.
