This latte has a wonderfully sweet flavor and is simple to make. Begin by bringing water, black tea bags, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, allow the mixture to sit for around 5 minutes to let the flavors blend. Reheat the mixture and strain it through a fine mesh. Next, add the white chocolate to the strained blend and stir vigorously until it has melted and the latte is creamy. The amount of white chocolate you use is up to your own personal preference. If you like a beverage that’s on the sweeter side, use 1/2 cup of white chocolate. For a more sweet flavor, use 1 cup. Finally, pour the warm latte into 2 mugs, top with a pinch of cinnamon, and enjoy.
