- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Loose black tea leaves
- 2 tablespoons Jaggery
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom

Instructions
Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, add 2 teaspoons of loose black tea leaves.
Add 2 tablespoons of jaggery to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to help the jaggery dissolve completely.
Add 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger and 0.25 teaspoon of ground cardamom to the mixture. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for 2 minutes for a richer flavor.
Strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to catch the tea leaves and ginger pieces.
Serve the vegan jaggery tea hot, and enjoy its warm, spiced notes.
