Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 4 (black) tea bags
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk)

Instructions

  1. Add the water, sugar, and spices to a saucepan over high heat
  2. Stir or whisk until the sugar dissolves
  3. Bring to a boil, add tea bags and reduce heat to a simmer for two minutes

Notes

There will be spices in the bottom of the tea, you can pour it through a few layers of cheesecloth to strain, but I just leave the cinnamon sludge in the bottom of the pan or the cup.
