Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons white tea leaves
- 2 cups water
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 3 pods green cardamom pods
- 3 pieces whole cloves
- 1 inch piece, thinly sliced fresh ginger
- 1 piece star anise
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cups milk (optional, for creaminess)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil.
Add the cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, whole cloves, thinly sliced ginger, and star anise to the water.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the spices steep for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Turn off the heat and add the white tea leaves to the saucepan. Cover and let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes.
Strain the spiced tea into a teapot or directly into serving mugs to remove the loose spices and tea leaves.
