A warm and comforting spiced milk tea perfect for cozy moments.
Heat the water in a saucepan until it reaches a gentle boil.
Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
Add the loose black tea leaves to the boiling water and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure the tea infuses evenly.
Warm the milk in a microwavable container until it is steaming.
Cover the container to prevent a skin from forming on the milk.
Combine the warmed milk with the tea mixture in the saucepan and stir in the Chinese five spice powder.
Whisk gently to create a frothy texture.
Strain the tea into mugs to remove the tea leaves and spices.
Press the tea leaves gently to extract more flavor.
Sweeten the tea with honey to taste and serve warm, or refrigerate for an iced version.
For iced tea, pour over a glass filled with ice cubes.
