This warm chai is comfort in a cup. It’s extra special with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprinkling of ground allspice on top. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Place the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. With end of a wooden spoon handle, crush mixture until aromas are released. Add tea bags, honey and boiling water; steep, covered, 6 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat milk. Strain tea into a heat-proof pitcher; stir in milk and vanilla.
In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Top servings with whipped cream; sprinkle with allspice.
To Make Ahead: Whipped cream can be made a couple of hours in advance; cover and refrigerate.

Loved it! I only had ground cardamom on hand so I substituted with 1/4 t. instead of 2 pods.
