Whole spices—cardamom pods, a cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and fresh ginger—simmer together until the kitchen smells like a chai shop, then steep with black tea for that deep, aromatic base. Oat milk gets warmed right into the pot until steaming and silky, then a touch of maple syrup rounds out the sweetness before everything gets strained smooth. A quick froth on top gives it that coffee-shop finish, with a dusting of ground cinnamon if you want the full effect. It's a cozy, spice-forward sip that comes together in one saucepan, no fancy equipment required. This one's an easy favorite to keep on repeat for a vegan kitchen, whether it's a slow weekend morning or a mid-afternoon reset.

Add the tea bags, remove the pan from the heat, and steep for 3–4 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags without squeezing them.
