Spiced Chai Drink with Decorative Spices

Imagine a comforting, creamy spiced chai, gently steaming in a simple white mug. A long cinnamon stick elegantly leans within the warm beverage, which is subtly dusted with reddish spice flakes. Arranged around the mug on a deep, dark surface are an assortment of aromatic additions: additional cinnamon sticks, a distinct star anise, a few unexpected garlic cloves, and dried leaves. Tiny specks of other spices and possibly a small brown sugar cube are also scattered, creating a visual blend of flavors in this charming watercolor-style illustration.
