Put all the spices (but leave the tea leaves aside for now) in a mortar and smash them. If you wish, you can grind the mixture, instead.

Take a small saucepan and pour in coconut milk. Add the spice mixture and bring to a boil.

Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture is fragrant. Add the black tea leaves and simmer for another minute. Turn the heat off and let steep for a couple of minutes.

Prepare your chia seeds.

Pour the spice-coconut mixture into a bowl through a fine sieve.

Add vanilla extract and stevia (or other sweetener) to taste.

Add chia seeds. Using a rubber spatula, stir until all the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Pour into two cups and allow to sit for at least two hours until the pudding thickens.

Add some whipped cream if you wish, and enjoy!
