Vanille Specerijen Chai

The cardamom really comes through alongside the vanilla, and the black peppercorns give it a nice warm kick that lingers after each sip. I’ve been making it with a splash of milk every afternoon and it’s quickly become my favorite break during work.

I steeped it for five minutes and the black peppercorns still cut through the vanilla beautifully—warm, spicy, and never cloying. The cloves and cinnamon make it feel like a proper winter hug in a mug, and it’s already my afternoon ritual.

The cloves and cinnamon come through warm and bold, but the vanilla really smooths out the spice so it's not harsh on the throat. I've been brewing it with milk every afternoon and the ginger gives it just the right kick to wake me up.
