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.

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.
