My aunt left me a really good recipe for it. But we're out of Saffron (which is expensive as hell) and cinnamon sticks so I haven't been able to make any for a while.

There's two recipes I use... This instant one for when I'm in a rush or am on the go. Chai Tea Mix - Allrecipes I add a bit of ground star anise in the mix... but you don't have to. This is the better recipe, but it of course takes more time and is more expensive. 7 cups water 1 tbsp fennel or anise seed(I prefer half of each) 6 green cardamom pods 12 cloves 1 cinnamon stick 1/4" ginger root, sliced thinly 1/4 tsp black pepper corns 2 bay leaves 2 tbsp of black tea 6 tbsp honey or rock sugar 1 cup of milk (may use soymilk) In a saucepan, combine first 8 ingredient (spices and water) in a pan, cover and bring to a medium boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Add tea and bring to a boil again, simmering for 5 minutes. Add honey or rock sugar and milk. Makes about 8 cups.
