Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (gently crushed), cloves, ginger, and black peppercorns. Let the spices simmer for 2-3 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 5
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into two mugs using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and tea leaves.
