Fresh ginger, cracked cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, and star anise simmer together into a fragrant, amber-hued base that does all the heavy lifting here. Black tea steeps right into that spiced liquid until it turns deep brown and richly aromatic, giving you that unmistakable chai flavor in every sip. A spoonful of honey stirred in at the end rounds out the sharpness of the spices with just the right touch of sweetness. Straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, spiced cup with zero grit, perfect for slow mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. This one's an easy favorite to keep brewing in a dairy free kitchen.

Combine the water, ginger, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and star anise (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the liquid is fragrant and lightly amber.
Add the tea bags and milk to the saucepan. Raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture just to a gentle simmer ā small bubbles at the edges, not a rolling boil ā then reduce the heat to low and steep for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chai is deep brown and richly spiced.
