Hw: 

going to  try to make this one with full fat coconut milk and maybe maple syrup instead of caramel, for a corn free version.

Instructions

1. Combine water, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg and a cinnamon stick in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil and boil for at least five minutes. (The longer you boil, the more the spices will release their flavor.)
3. Turn off the heat and place tea bags in water. Steep for 5-6 minutes.
4. Stir in caramel sauce and vanilla.
5. Heat milk in microwave for 15 seconds on medium heat and stir into tea. (Helps to avoid curdling.)
6. Top with whipped cream and additional caramel sauce if desired.
7. Serve immediately.
