Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add Tea and Spices
Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves, 4 cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 2 cloves. Stir the mixture.
3
Simmer
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to steep.

After simmering, strain the tea into a separate container to remove the leaves and spices.

In the same saucepan, add 1 cup of milk and heat it over medium heat until warm but not boiling.

Once the milk is warm, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Combine with Tea
Pour the strained tea base into the milk mixture and stir gently to combine.
