Start by preparing the spices: take 1 piece of star anise, 1 bay leaf, 4 to 5 cloves, 4 to 5 green cardamom pods, a 5 cm piece of cinnamon, 6 black peppercorns, and a small piece of ginger.

Roast the spices in a small pot until a pleasant spice smell emerges, being careful not to over-roast them to avoid bitterness.

Transfer the roasted spices to a mortar and grind them until they break down into smaller pieces, but not too fine since they will be sieved later.

Put the ground spices back into the small pot and add 250 ml of water. Bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, remove from heat and add 1 bag of black tea. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your taste.

After steeping, add 250 ml of milk to the tea and spices to enhance the flavor further.

Pour the masala chai through a fine sieve to remove the spices, leaving the flavored liquid for the coffee mix.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.

Use an electric mixer to whip the coffee mixture until creamy. Alternatively, use a hand whisk if preferred.

Fill a cup with the masala chai, leaving some space at the top, and add the whipped coffee cream as a topping.
