Jersey Milk and Honey Chai Latte

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, peppercorns (if using), and ginger.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the water.

Remove from heat and add the black tea bags (or loose leaf tea). Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired strength.

Remove the tea bags (or strain the loose leaf tea).

Add the Jersey milk to the saucepan and gently heat over low heat. Do not boil.

Stir in the honey, starting with 2 tablespoons and adding more to taste.

Whisk well to combine and create a slightly frothy top.

Strain the chai latte through a fine-mesh strainer into mugs to remove any spices or tea leaves.

Serve immediately.
