Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 4 pods Cardamom pods
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 inch, sliced Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Ice cubes

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (lightly crushed), cloves, and sliced fresh ginger to the boiling water. Let them simmer for 3-4 minutes to release their flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the black tea bags to the spiced water. Let the tea bags steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and spices by straining the tea into a heat-safe pitcher or bowl.
Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely. Adjust sweetness to taste if necessary.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice.
Optionally, top with a splash of milk for a creamy twist before serving.
