Ingredients
- water
- milk
- 10 grams black tea leaves or 4 black teabags
- sugar, to taste
- fresh grated ginger, to taste
- ground cardomom, a pinch
Directions
Combine two teacups of water and two teacups of milk in a saucepan. Add sugar, ginger, and a pinch of cardomom. Bring to a simmer carefully. Remove from heat, add tea, cover, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove teabags if you are using them and then strain (this will rid the tea of gingerpieces and loose tea.) Enjoy!!
