Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 tbsp loose black tea leaves or 2 tea bags
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and sliced
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns freshly ground
- 4 pods green cardamom crushed
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp sugar or to taste
Notes
For a stronger pepper flavor, increase the black peppercorns to 3/4 tsp. This latte can be made vegan by substituting the milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk. Store any leftover concentrate (before adding milk) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. For an extra indulgent version, top with a spoonful of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of black pepper.
