Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Toast the spices in a dry pan until fragrant, then place them, the ginger and tea bags into a kettle or coffee maker with 500 ml of freshly boiled water and let steep for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat the milk with brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. When the milk begins to steam lightly, whisk the top with a milk frother or whisk to create foam.

3. 3

   Strain the tea into 4 cups or heat‑proof glasses, then pour the milk, keeping the foam separate. Stir. For each latte add a little milk foam, then sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
