INSTRUCTIONS

Brew a strong cup of rooibos tea by steeping 1-2 rooibos tea bags or loose-leaf tea in boiling water for 5-7 minutes. - Then, Prepare the Milk and Spices
In a small saucepan, combine milk with the chai spices. Afterward, heat over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is warm and fragrant. - Next, Combine and Sweeten
Pour the brewed rooibos into a mug and then add the spiced milk mixture. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired. - Finally, Garnish and Serve
To finish, add a cinnamon stick and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Pro Tip:
- Frothy Finish: If you want a frothy latte, whisk the milk vigorously or use a milk frothier before adding it to the tea.
