Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Black tea leaves
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces Green cardamom pods
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 5 pieces Black peppercorns
- 1 piece Star anise
- 1 cup Vegan milk of choice (such as almond or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar or maple syrup
Instructions
In a small pot, pour 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
While the water is heating, lightly crush the cardamom pods, cloves, and black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle to release their flavors.
Once the water reaches a boil, add the black tea leaves, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, cloves, black peppercorns, and star anise to the pot.
Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices, then add these to the pot as well.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until the tea is aromatic and infused with the spices.
Add the vegan milk of your choice to the pot and allow the tea to return to a gentle boil.
Once it begins to boil, add the brown sugar or maple syrup, stirring until dissolved.
Simmer the tea for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into cups to remove the tea leaves and spices.
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth of Vegan Masala Tea.
