Green Tea Chai Latte

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup nonfat milk (any nondairy milk works great for a vegan option)
• 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (more if you like it sweeter)
• 1-2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3-4 black peppercorns
• 3-4 whole cloves
• 3-4 whole cardamom pods
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea

Instructions:

1. Combine the water, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a boil.
2. Remove from heat and add the matcha, whisking to dissolve it.
3. Pour the green tea chai tea into a cup through a sieve to strain.
4. Use a milk frother to foam it up as much as you like before drinking. If you are using the jar method to froth the milk, just reserve about 1/4 cup of milk to heat separately in a jar in the microwave. Cover with a lid and shake vigorously to foam it up. Pour over the prepared latte.
