This is my take on Indian Tea commonly drunken throughout India. This recipe is for one large cup or two small cups. Extremely tasty and comforting with many health benefits. Not much beats this on a cold winters morning.

Ingredients

10 mins
1 serving
  1. 1 cupwater
  2. 3/4 cupmilk (preferably full cream)
  3. 2 tspgood quality black loose tea leaves (I use Wagh Bakri)
  4. 2green cardamom pods
  5. 4cloves
  6. 3black pepper corns
  7. 1/2of one star of anise
  8. Fresh or dry ginger (preferably fresh, a few small pieces or about 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp of dry ginger)
  9. 1/3 (1 stick)cinnamon
  10. 1/2 tspfennel seeds
  11. 1-2 tspsugar (optional)

Cooking Instructions

10 mins
  1. 1

    Lightly crush your spices and add tea and water to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Be sure not to boil water to long or u will over boil the water and spoil the taste.

  2. 2

    Once the water has boiled add your milk and again bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and bring to the boil again. Doing this process multiple times will create a creamy and more richer flavoured tea.

  3. 3

    As soon as the milk is boiling add your sugar this can be done afterwards but I like to infuse my sugar with my tea in the boiling process. Once it has boiled strain into cup/cups using a small strainer and enjoy.

  4. 4

    This Recipe can be changed and altered to your liking. As you make it more and more u will discover what spices etc. you may like more or less of. Sugar is definitely optional but in my opinion you can't drink Indian tea without sugar. Also you can adapt the recipe to make more or less tea.
