- pinch of black pepper, optional
- 2 cups oat milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (more or less depending on desired sweetness)
Instructions
- Make tea: In small saucepan bring water, black tea bag or loose leaf tea, and chai tea spices to a low boil then simmer for 5 minutes to steep tea and spices.
- Add milk & sweetener: Pour in oat milk, maple syrup and stir; change heat to medium to warm oat milk, about 3-4 minutes. Once warmed through, strain mixture through fine mesh sieve (or cheese cloth, or mesh straining bag).
