Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 2 cups water
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 4 pods cardamom pods
- 3 pieces cloves
- 3 pieces black peppercorns
- 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (to taste)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (lightly crushed), cloves, black peppercorns, and ginger slices.
Reduce the heat to low and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) to the saucepan and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
If using milk, stir it in now and allow it to heat through without boiling, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
Strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Sweeten with honey or sugar to taste, stir, and serve hot. Enjoy your Super Spiced Black Tea!
