Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and grated ginger. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Tea and Cocoa

    Stir in the black tea leaves and cocoa powder. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Milk and Sugar

    Reduce the heat to low and add the milk and sugar. Stir well to combine and heat for another 3-5 minutes, being careful not to let it boil over.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the mixture into cups to remove the solid spices and tea leaves. Add vanilla extract to each cup before serving.
