1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Tea Leaves and Sugar
Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir to combine.

Add Spices
Add the 2 whole cardamom pods and 1 cinnamon stick into the saucepan. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups to remove the tea leaves and spices.

Add Milk
Pour 1 cup of milk into the strained tea and stir well to combine.
