- 4 pods cardamom pods
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 4 tbsp vegan condensed milk
- 2 tbsp sugar

Add the black tea, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and ground ginger to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Add the vegan condensed milk and sugar. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Continue to simmer the tea on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
