1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
2
Add Tea Leaves
Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves to the pot. Stir gently.

3
Add Spices
Add the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, whole cloves, and whole black peppercorns to the boiling tea. Stir to combine.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat and let the tea simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and spices.

Pour 1 cup of milk (or oat milk) into the strained tea. Stir well.

Sweeten
Add sugar to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
