In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, black tea bags (or loose leaf tea), cinnamon sticks, crushed cardamom pods, whole cloves, and sliced fresh ginger.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse and the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent milk from scorching.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully strain the chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher or heatproof container, discarding the tea bags and spices.

Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

Serve the Sweet Vanilla Honey Chai hot, garnished with an extra cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired.
