Instructions
Start by crushing the cardamom pods and cloves lightly to release their aroma and flavors.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling, add the crushed cardamom, cloves, and sliced ginger to the water. Let them simmer for about 2 minutes to infuse the water with their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves to the spiced water and allow it to brew on low heat for about 3 minutes.
While the tea is brewing, gradually add the jaggery, stirring until it completely dissolves.
Pour in the milk and increase the heat to bring the mixture back to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat and let the tea simmer for another 2 minutes to ensure all the flavors are well combined.
Strain the tea into tea cups using a fine mesh sieve to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Serve the jaggery tea hot and enjoy its warm, comforting flavors.
