200ml plant-based milk (such as oat milk or almond milk)
-
100ml strong-brewed black tea (or 2 chai tea bags steeped in hot water)

3. Combine the Latte
Pour the brewed black tea into a mug and slowly add the spiced milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4. Garnish and Serve
Top with a sprinkle of extra chai spice and a star anise for a warm, fragrant touch.
