1
Prepare the Spices
Crush the cardamom pods and cloves using a mortar and pestle or any heavy object. Slice the fresh ginger into thin pieces.
2
Boil Water
In a saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil over medium heat.

3
Add Tea and Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the crushed cardamom, cloves, sliced ginger, and cinnamon stick. Let it boil for about 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
4
Add Tea Leaves
Add 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves to the boiling mixture. Boil for an additional 2 minutes.
5
Sweeten and Add Milk
Stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar (or to taste) and then add 1 cup of milk. Bring the mixture back to a boil.

6
Strain and Serve
Once the tea is boiling, remove from heat. Strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer. Serve hot.
