Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons loose black tea (or 2 tea bags)
- 1 cup full-fat milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
- Ghost-shaped marshmallows (for decoration)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the water in a medium saucepan. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the black tea leaves or tea bags and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes to create a robust brew.
- Next, mix in the sweetener, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves, allowing the concoction to simmer for an additional 2 minutes so the spices can meld beautifully.
- Gradually pour in the milk, heating the mixture until it’s steaming but not boiling. Stir in the vanilla essence for an aromatic touch.
- Once heated, strain the tea into mugs, discarding the tea leaves or bags.
- Crown each latte with a fluffy layer of whipped cream, then drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for a festive flair.
- Finish off by placing ghost-shaped marshmallows atop the whipped cream for a delightful and spooky presentation.
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture, consider using half-and-half instead of whole milk.
- A sprinkle of nutmeg can also enhance the flavor profile.
- If you prefer a caffeine-free option, swap the black tea for rooibos tea.
