1 Tip the spices into a dry frying pan and toast until fragrant. Put the toasted spices, the ginger and teabags in a teapot or French press with 2 cups freshly boiled water, and leave to infuse for 10 mins.
2 Heat the milk with the brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Once lightly steaming, froth the top using a milk frother or whisk to create some foam.
3 Strain the tea between four mugs or heatproof glasses, then pour in the milk, keeping the froth back. Stir to combine. Top each latte with a bit of the milk foam, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon.
