Whole green cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, star anise, and fresh ginger simmer together until the water turns fragrant and amber, then steep with black tea for a deep, malty backbone. The spiced brew gets heated until steaming and silky, then strained into mugs for a warmly spiced, café-style sip you can make right at home. Dust with a little extra cinnamon for a cozy finishing touch. This one's an easy favorite to keep on rotation for a vegan kitchen, since every component here is plant-based and comes together in one small saucepan. It's the kind of drink that turns a quiet morning or a rainy afternoon into something worth slowing down for.

Add the black tea (loose-leaf or bags) to the saucepan and steep for 3 minutes, until the brew is deep brown and strongly aromatic.
