Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 inches Fresh ginger root
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Cardamom pods
- 4 pieces Cloves
- 5 pieces Black peppercorns
- 4 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons or bags Black tea leaves or black tea bag
- 2 teaspoons Honey or sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Peel the ginger root and slice it thinly into small pieces.
In a saucepan, add 4 cups of water, the sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and black peppercorns.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the spices to release their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves or tea bags to the simmering water and steep for 2-3 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your desired tea strength.
Strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the spices and ginger pieces.
If desired, sweeten your tea with honey or sugar and add a splash of lemon juice for extra zing.
Serve the tea hot and enjoy its warming, spicy flavors.
