Steps

1

Mix the cloves, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon together, ensuring the cloves and ginger are ground to a fine consistency.
2

Boil the spice mix with a small amount of water (~50 ml, 1/4 cup), then let simmer.
3

In a separate pot, brew the tea leaves in the boiling water (200ml) for several minutes. Then add the milk and bring to just before boiling (bubbles forming on the surface) for about 20 seconds.
4

Pour the tea mixture into your cup or teapot through a sieve to strain out the tea leaves.
5

Add the sugar (optional, to taste) and the spice mix (through a sieve, or cloth) to your tea. Enjoy!
