Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use loose-leaf black tea, fresh spices, and organic milk or plant-based milk.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer: This will prevent tea leaves and spices from entering your cup.

- Add sweetener to taste: Honey, sugar, or a sugar substitute can be added to sweeten the tea.
- Garnish with spices: A sprinkle of cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg adds extra flavor and aroma.
- Experiment with different variations: Try adding other spices or herbs, such as ginger, turmeric, or lemongrass.
