Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Bring the water, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and peppercorns to a boil in a saucepan, then simmer for 5 minutes to infuse.
- Add the tea leaves and steep for 3 minutes.
- Pour in the milk and sugar, and simmer gently for another 2 minutes without letting it boil over.
- Strain into cups and serve hot.
Notes
Crush the whole spices lightly before adding — it releases far more flavour than adding them whole.
