Move over chai lattes!! This is better, deeper flavour and wakes you up! I used the fake stuff (a good kind though, if I'm allowed to say that), alcohol free vanilla added after brewing, whole peppercorns, ground allspice, plus the rest of the ingredients. I added Carnation evaporated milk and a little white sugar. A do again.

I brewed my pot of coffee with 4 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, pumpkin spices, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds, cinnamon powder, Recipe #101039, a pinch of cracked black pepper. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just lovely! Nicely spiced. Not as you would find in a brew cup of Spiced Chai tea. Deli-sh and comforting.
