Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add the black tea leaves, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and grated fresh ginger to the water. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the spices and tea to infuse.
Add 1 cup of whole milk to the saucepan and gently stir. Keep the heat on low to avoid scalding the milk.
Add sugar (or sweetener of your choice) and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Let the brew simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Turn off the heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir gently.
Strain the brew into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and grated ginger.
Serve the African Brew hot, savoring its rich, spiced aroma and deliciously creamy texture.
