Method

Tea Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

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

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the whole cardamom pods, crushed ginger, and the cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Tea Leaves

    After simmering, add 4 teaspoons of black tea leaves to the saucepan. Allow it to steep for about 3-4 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea.

  4. 4

    Strain Tea

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the tea into a teapot or another heatproof container to remove the tea leaves and spices.

  5. 5

    Sweeten and Add Milk

    Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the strained tea and stir until dissolved. Then, pour in 1 cup of milk and stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Pour the tea into cups and serve hot. Enjoy your freshly brewed tea!
