Method

Preparation Steps

Boil Water

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

Add Spices

Once the water is boiling, add 2 crushed cardamom pods and 1 inch piece of sliced ginger to the pot. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Add Tea Leaves

Stir in 4 tsp of black tea leaves to the pot. Allow the mixture to boil for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

Add Sugar

After the tea has brewed to your liking, add 2 tbs of sugar to the pot. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.

Add Milk

Pour in 1 cup of milk to the pot, stirring continuously. Bring the tea back to a gentle boil and then remove from heat.

Strain and Serve

Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the tea into cups to strain out the tea leaves and spices. Serve hot.
