Creating a Chai Spiced Latte can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

2. Add Tea: Once boiling, add the black tea leaves or tea bags, and let it steep for 5-7 minutes.

3. Prepare Spices: While the tea is steeping, gather your spices—cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and black pepper (if using).

4. Heat Milk: In another saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.

5. Combine Ingredients: Remove the tea from heat and strain it into a jug, discarding the tea leaves or bags. Stir in the spices and sweetener until fully dissolved.

6. Mix with Milk: Add the warm milk to the spiced tea mixture, stirring gently to combine.

7. Froth (Optional): If desired, use a frother to create a frothy texture for your latte.

8. Serve: Pour the Chai Spiced Latte into a mug, and top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

9. Enjoy: Sip and savor the warm, comforting flavors of your homemade latte!
