Tea Base

Flavoring

Milk (optional)

Method

Preparing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

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

  2. 2

    Add Tea Leaves

    Once the water is boiling, add 2 tsp of black tea leaves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. 3

    Strain Tea

    After simmering, strain the tea into a separate pot to remove the tea leaves.

Flavoring the Tea

  1. 4

    Add Spices

    To the strained tea, add grated ginger, cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Simmer with Spices

    Let the mixture simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.

  3. 6

    Sweeten to Taste

    Add honey or sugar to the tea, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Stir until fully dissolved.

Serving the Tea

  1. 7

    Add Milk (if desired)

    If you prefer a creamier tea, add 1 cup of milk to the mixture and stir well. Heat gently until warm.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Pour the Toko Tea into cups, ensuring to strain out the spices if necessary. Enjoy your warm beverage!
