Servings 4 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 large thumb size ginger finely chopped
- 2 small cinnamon sticks
- 5 cardamom pods lightly crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea preferably CTC
- 2 cups of soy milk** preferably at room temperature
- Sugar to personal preference
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add the fresh ginger and spices (cloves, cardamom and cinnamon) and boil for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Add the tea leaves and boil on medium high for at least five minutes. You want to boil this vigorously to ensure the tea is sufficiently mixing with the water and spices.
- Add the milk and boil for another 5 minutes. Allow the tea to bubble up to ensure everything is mixing well.
- Turn off the pot, add sugar to your personal preference. Strain the tea then serve.
Notes
I only recommend soy milk as a plant based dairy alternative as it is the only plant based option that can withstand the high heat needed to make this beverage. All other options tend to separate.
