- 1 piece star anise

Directions
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, sliced ginger, cardamom pods, cloves, black peppercorns, and star anise.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to thoroughly infuse the water.
Step 4
After 5 minutes, add the black tea bags to the spiced water and let them steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your preferred tea strength.
Step 5
Remove the tea bags from the saucepan, ensuring to squeeze any excess liquid back into the pot, and discard them.
Step 6
Add the almond milk to the spiced tea mixture and increase the heat slightly to warm the milk gently. Do not allow it to boil.
Step 7
Once the almond milk is warm, stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup, ensuring everything is mixed well.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and use a fine mesh strainer to pour the chai into serving mugs, filtering out any solid spices and ginger slices.
Step 9
Sprinkle a small amount of ground cinnamon on top of each latte for an added aroma and garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade almond milk chai latte!
