Steps

1

In a pan, heat the milk and water with the bay leaves. Use a medium heat so it doesn’t boil too fast. All the spices need a little time to infuse.
2

Put all the spices together and crush them roughly in a mortar and pestle. They don’t have to be ground - just crushed a bit.
3

Add the spices to the milk mix.
4

Add the tea leaves. And bring to the boil.
5

Strain the tea into a pot. Enjoy 😋
