• 4 pods cardamom pods

• 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup milk (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (lightly crushed), cloves, black peppercorns, and ginger slices.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 4

Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) to the saucepan and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

Step 5

If using milk, stir it in now and allow it to heat through without boiling, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Sweeten with honey or sugar to taste, stir, and serve hot. Enjoy your Super Spiced Black Tea!
