Variations & Tips
- For a caffeine-free version, replace the black tea with rooibos tea.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing the sugar or swapping in a sugar substitute.
- Add extra powdered milk for a creamier drink, or use non-dairy creamer when preparing.
- Play with the spice balance—more ginger for a fiery kick, more cinnamon for warmth.
